Message: <blockquote data-quote="Paul_" data-source="post: 2650759" data-attributes="member: 578575">Since the day I quit cigarettes using vaping, I've only had one occasion where I was tempted by smoking. It was New Year 2018. I was drunk (very drunk), we had friends over, and one of them smoked. I had two drags, stubbed it out, and didn't enjoy it at all. Felt odd to not enjoy it, especially as I was drunk too, but that's my only flirtation with it since quitting.As for long term solutions, sometimes it's just about getting through difficult periods and prioritising. Vaping isn't likely to harm you in the next 6 months. High blood glucose might. If nicotine helps with other things like appetite suppression and controlling food cravings, not to mention general mental health well-being, I wouldn't put too much pressure on yourself. Better to stay on track with your diabetes management than try and change everything at once in my opinion. We all have our vices, life isn't much fun without any at all.</blockquote>
