    JohnBoy, I do but I could moderate it and spray myself with cologne lol. I'm hoping to get a vape as soon as possible so just water vapor then. I won't tell you I won't smoke while driving in the truck, id sure try but my addiction has me by the balls.

    I'm the same way. I can smell it if you last smoked last week, and it sends my sinuses into orbit.

    A Vape is a good option.... not better or healthier than just quitting, but that is much easier said than done. Vape liquid can contain varying levels of nicotine to help ease off or at least consume less and less as you go.

    Although there have been no long term studies to show that it's "just water vapor" so it's "harmless", it has to be better than smoking.

    Good luck getting that monkey off your balls.

    I've had trainees in my truck that promised the world about curtailing smoking, also had them in here vaping. Neither one will ever be allowed in this truck.

    Sure wish I was needing a trainer right now. I would love to learn from you, sir. Based on your posts I can tell you really care about your trainees and make sure they are well prepared as they begin their careers.

    I start school this coming Tuesday and will be done in July ( it's an 8 week program ) and Abilene is one of the companies I am considering, maybe our paths will cross one day.

    I am a non-smoker and I live in Florida, although on the opposite coast from you, so home time during training would be easy.

    If I ever smoke in my truck, it will be because I am on fire.
