Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I switched brands at the beginning of the week. It's going to save me $1300 a year. Now imagine if I quit... Nah.

I think vaping is a good path to get around nicotine cravings.

It's not the nicotine. I swear. I can vape 0% nicotine and it's the same as nicotine vapes. It gives me about a quarter of the comfort and anxiety reduction of a cigarette. Addiction to cigarettes is about the ritual and the motions of smoking. Nicotine is overplayed.

People say vaping doesn't hit as much as cigs (even with nicotine), so they do half and half and wean down until vaping is enough. So with respect to nicotine it's the long term biological addiction.

I can imagine.

You should too. You can do it, I believe in you.

Thanks buddy. I have quit twice, once for over a year. Both times by using vapes. Then shit goes to hell in my life and I pick it back up.

I hear that. It's insidious how it whispers back at you when shit hits the fan, even if you haven't thought about it in months.
