I've been vaping for a while and now I'm starting to plan ahead thinking about when I'll be able to vape the next time. I buy my own carts now. When I have a choice of activities, I don't choose by what i enjoy or who will be there, but whether I can vape or not. Some people I don't even like had a party last night. I went there instead of going bowling with my best friend, because I could vape at the party. I enjoy vaping, and I don't worry about cancer and stuff. I can quit whenever I want.
