Hello!

I started vaping in early 2012. I used to be a cigarette smoker. I think most of us started out that way.

This was before mods, tanks and ejuice. Just the “blu” and refill cartridges. My brother introduced this to me. It wasn’t because I wanted to stop smoking really… I smoked on and off since I was 20. I stopped ALLL the way, cold turkey because I was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. I was only 38!

My oncologist told me it was fine to vape.. Cool!! I even remember vaping in the airport and had no issues.. Why? It wasn’t smoke, it was vape. I had a CT scan done on my chest area and my lungs didn’t look very good.

Fast forward to 2017, a few dozen mod and tanks upgrades later, I was diagnosed with angiosarcoma. This cancer likes organs, it happened to grow in one of  my breast. (was caused by the radiation I received previously). I still vape. Another CT scan done.

My lungs are way better than 2012. I’ve had CT scans done every 3-6 months since 2012. I have PROOF that my lungs are better. I don’t use black market thc cartridges. If decided I needed that thc effect, I bought the cartridges in legal, tax paying, regulated establishments.

My oncologist has been told that me vaping was fine. I vape because I choose to. I enjoy it. I have images of my lungs 2012-2019. I have proof. I’m not underage or buying on the black market. I have ranted about the upcoming questionable reasoning on taking away my flavored vape juice. I’m ready to do something about it.
