  1. You caught my attention when you talked about all the odors and flavors that vaping can utilize. The smell of burnt cigarettes is something I feel horrible exposing my kids to all the time, so I want to find an alternative for me while still letting me get my nicotine fix. Vaping sounds perfect for this, so I’ll look for any vape shops in the area that can get me started.
