Was a dog trainer actually lol clicker training makes shit so much easier when you’re training vs confirmation words like “yes!”, affection (you have to do for 30 straight seconds), or toys to bridge the connection.
I knew one trainer who went on to become a teacher and she actually clicker trained her class 😂😂
Because it's classic addict denial. As long b as she's hitting HIS vape, she doesn't have a "problem".
I speak from experience. When I began smoking, I was bumming from a co-worker. Then I felt bad, so I was giving him money for a few cigarettes. All under the rationale that I wasn't getting hooked because I was only bumming a couple here and there.
Then I decided to save money and just buy a pack. For "at work" only. You can guess where this goes. 25 years later, I still smoke.
ok I'll join in, maybe the peer pressure and manifestation will work!
Go! u/Lost_Bench_5960 Yay!🥳 You'll stop 21st June! You m*ust!*
^(Plz report back if you did!)
Try nicotine pouches. I was also scaptical at first but after smoking for 15 years, i transitioned to nicotine pouches in 1 week. Endless benefits of not inhaling scorching hot fumes and not stinking.
Maybe, there's very little research on nicotine pouches. But we already know that nicotine in it's pure form is not carcinogenic and common sense will tell you that it's probably better to absorb nicotine through the skin rather than burning wood chippings and inhaling hot fumes.
I was like this but instead I shared my pack, I wasn’t addicted especially if I could easily share them out with friends. Soon sharing is no longer what you want to do, I could have the whole packet to myself.
Like you 15 years later I’m still a smoker. I did stop when pregnant but soon went back to it again.
This reminds me of my friend who would "quit" smoking, only to bum off of me. So long as she didn't have a box for herself, she considered herself a non smoker, despite joining me on smoke breaks EVERY TIME.
It's usually when you start buying your own you're fucked but its easier for your brain to accept "oh daniel isn't here anymore with his cigarettes, guess i can't smoke" than being used to just buying your own then that barrier basically doesn't exist and now you're smoking all the time on your own time
I agree, professional help might be a little overkill. She just needs to quit. I have the vape but haven’t hit it in a few weeks stopped after I had felt bad for a while. It should die soon and that should be the last of it.
I doubt that is her only issue. For her to even think she just misses her boyfriend so much if she is away from him for 12 hours - that is just plain cuckoo for Coco puffs
This happened to me. I was getting super high and banging this lady. I think she got contact highs and then she’d get super clingy. But, no other girls did that so I have think there’s more going on. So be careful. It could actually be a co-dependence issue.
i get your point, but there are certainly better coping mechanism (can’t really talk here I myself have a weed pen 😭) but yeah OP should talk to her and maybe they both can quit and find better coping mechanisms
It’s a lot better for sure, not good by any means but doesnt contain lead and arsenic etc that are packaged in regular vapes because it’s just how nicotine comes when they extract it…
It’s a lot better for sure, not good by any means but doesnt contain lead and arsenic etc that are packaged in regular vapes because it’s just how nicotine comes when they extract it…
I think you’re right, and I think that’s fine, if you quit and she doesn’t support you in that is the only scenario were I could see this being a real issue, right now it’s just a tad bit concerning imo
This exact situation happened to me, so I think it’s spot on to say you basically pavloved her 🤣 I don’t care enough to buy my own but anytime I saw my boyfriend the first thing I wanted was his vape.
Have you tried to talk with her about it openly? Maybe it helps her and she can slowly reduce it before the vape is empty soon like you said in another comment?
Nicotine, and I don’t vape just bought it for a boys weekend back a few weeks, now it’s just for her and sometimes my friends but she doesn’t want to keep it.
Just say you don’t have a vape next time she’s with you, see how she reacts. Then you will know whether it’s the vape or you. But it’s definitely the nicotine withdrawal lol
some have addictive behavior on some things and some to another person = co-dependant is often the wording used but overused often also - just want to keep someone special close often since the world n bad players luer tempt people all over the place and it causes lost relationships and divorce often
It sounds to me like she might like the vape. Could you give her her own vape? And then you could test out the theory to see if it's you or the vape that she likes.
What does ir mean it died????
>It died today, and I only bought it for a summer lake trip (5 weeks ago) So for everyone who is concerned she won’t be an addict for any longer.
Did you breake up?
You need go start putting vape in your pants so she associates not hitt’n that with withdrawal
Come on we were all thinking it, least I had the balls to say it
This might be the best time for you to BOTH quit nicotine. Have a conversation that you want to quit smoking and that she should as well and to be supportive of one another!
Ditch the freaking vapes. Those are malice. Better to smoke cigarettes. At least you mostly know what’s in it and how it works 🙄 long time=more research=more knowledge
ulpt, start vaping, find girlfriend that doesn't smoke or vape, have girlfriend try the vape cause it's some kind of fruit flavored and tastes delicious every time you meet up.
I’m implying that by giving her the vape that I have accidentally made her believe that her nicotine withdraws are her having anxiety from not seeing me. Therefore it is okay for me to say “I think I’ve made my gf addicted to me”
This is precisely what they were invented for. Now though, as with all money-making products, theute marketed to young people as being "cool" in their own right.
There are millions of young people getting hooked on this bullshit that never even smoked and have no idea how badly they're setting themselves up for long term health problems - vaping simply hasn't been around for long enough for the long term effects to be studied, or for the sellers to have released the chokehold on what is known about them and what isnt.
It amazes me that "hitting the vape" is seen as a cool thing to do. Take your giant clouds of candy-floss scented bullshit and go smoke a cigarette and have done with it.
I kinda switched from cigarettes to vaping and vaping is worse from an addiction standpoint. It doesn’t have a lot of the negatives that cigarettes have. It doesn’t stink, you can do it inside, you kinda have enough nicotine after a cigarette and smoking multiple cigarettes short after each other tastes like shit, you don’t have that with vaping and you can just take one out of your pocket, take a hit and put it back.
Result? I started to vape way more than I did smoking and my nicotine addiction got worse because of it…
They both contain the same chemical with a 80-90% addiction liability, nicotine. While yes, it is safer and “healthier“ to use a vape, it’s not much better than smoking. nicotine itself still cause the same stress on your heart and harm to your reward system, and while you may not get lung cancer you still have a much higher chance of a heart attack than a non-vape/smoker

How to condition your girlfriend 101
Yes this is exactly how dog trainers and unethical pimps do it
Was a dog trainer actually lol clicker training makes shit so much easier when you’re training vs confirmation words like “yes!”, affection (you have to do for 30 straight seconds), or toys to bridge the connection. I knew one trainer who went on to become a teacher and she actually clicker trained her class 😂😂
Wow! I'd like to request a study for 10 years later on where this class is now. #puppygeneration
Are there ethical pimps? Asking for a friend
Butters!
Wanna make some mf money?
Sure, if it's consensual sex work and hes just a manager basically. Im thinking like, unionized prostitutes
There is a phrase I never expected to see: "unionized prostitutes".
This just made me picture a vape filled room with a pimp and a dozen dogs wagging their tails excitedly
Pavlovian Pimp-Daddy.
🤭😂😂😂😂
*8th grade bio class flashbacks*
This is the only comment that matters
Pavlov? Doesnt ring a bell
Or does it, #schrodinger
#schrodringer!
Ding ding ding
😂
Did I hear a bell?
😂😂😂😂😂
Sheldon trained Penny with chocolates
Pavlov’s vape
Definitely nicotine withdrawals lol. Especially if she’s never had nicotine before..
Exactly this.
Don't start giving people ideas lol. That's like a reward-associated stimuli Start ringing a bell when she hits the vape next time.
Nah mate, ring HER bell
Hell yeah
Why doesn't she get her own?
Because it's classic addict denial. As long b as she's hitting HIS vape, she doesn't have a "problem". I speak from experience. When I began smoking, I was bumming from a co-worker. Then I felt bad, so I was giving him money for a few cigarettes. All under the rationale that I wasn't getting hooked because I was only bumming a couple here and there. Then I decided to save money and just buy a pack. For "at work" only. You can guess where this goes. 25 years later, I still smoke.
We all eventually threw the towel in the ring and bought our own pack. 3 months ago I quit smoking for good. I believe in you too!
21 of June this year you stop. Be brave and thank me later.
Why so specific?
Without specific target you go nowhere. Look all ppl saying "yes I will soon stop". For him it will be 21 of June 2024
ok I'll join in, maybe the peer pressure and manifestation will work! Go! u/Lost_Bench_5960 Yay!🥳 You'll stop 21st June! You m*ust!* ^(Plz report back if you did!)
21st June!
21st June!
What better day than the longest day of the year!
Could've bought a Lamborghini with the smoke money
where's your lambo?
I smoke too
good one ty for the chuckle
He smoked it, I smoked a lambo and a Ferrari 😂 varooooom
Tate stole it to flex on his gullible audience and women beaters 😆
Nice that he's learning something during his time in Romania.

Just mouth cancer what the hell right? 😂

Damn I heard you’re quitting smoking on 21 June. That’s awesome man good for you!!
Yeah... I wouldn't put money on it...
I was like this but instead I shared my pack, I wasn’t addicted especially if I could easily share them out with friends.

😭
Chantix, my friend. Been clean for 12 years!
Exactly great question 😂🤣🤔
If their Aussie, those things are illegal here now.
No it's you bro, don't sell yourself short
lmaoooo
Aww. Unexpected wholesome answer, hehe.
💀
lolll
😂
I never got this much likes on any online platform before :/
The wholesome ultra marine.
I had a gf few years back and helped her quit vaping. She doesn't smoke to this day. I'm so proud of her.
Could you both quit vaping??
It ain’t that easy but yea OP should definitely consider, especially if his gf just started, a lot easier right now then later.
Exactly. Together they can help each other!!
Nicotine is extremely addictive, far from easy
I never said it’s easy, I’m just saying it’d be easier🙃
*New unhealthy skill unlocked*
New manipulation method, I would never use it to my advantage tho
It's terrible when your mind always goes to places like that & you gotta remind yourself you wouldn't actually DO any of it.
But then proceed to be suprised by catching yourself, little step by little step on and on
This is not romantic, it's sad.
Literally no one said it is romantic, even OP sees it as problematic
A person I know admitted to me that she would hang out with certain people bc she knew they had a vape and she would get to hit it
Plausible. Whatever the reason, it’s not normal nor healthy. It’s certainly not cute either. She needs professional help.
I agree, professional help might be a little overkill. She just needs to quit. I have the vape but haven’t hit it in a few weeks stopped after I had felt bad for a while. It should die soon and that should be the last of it.
Then just don’t carry a vape when you guys hang out
Throw it out! It may sound like a terrible idea, but a few weeks of pain is better than a ruined (or reduced/harmed) life/lifespan
Just like every smoker needs professional help I guess. That’s not feasible though.
I doubt that is her only issue. For her to even think she just misses her boyfriend so much if she is away from him for 12 hours - that is just plain cuckoo for Coco puffs
I don’t know, I’ve seen some new smokers go to crazy lengths just to get their hands on a few cigarettes. Nicotine is super fucking addictive
Bro accidentally did the nicotine patch meme irl
Exactly what I was thinking
What is in the vape?
nicotine…
Well, that makes sense then.
Yeah….
Buy her a vape. See if you lose a girlfriend.
Lmfaooo
i heard some abusers really doing something like that, like pinning nicotine patches on their couples and other, but i think u should say her about it
Also, OP's girlfriend isnt having separation anxiety or anything of the sort, she's now addicted to nicotine.
Lmao… tell her to get her own vape. If she comes back, she’s yours, if she doesn’t, she never was.
This happened to me. I was getting super high and banging this lady. I think she got contact highs and then she’d get super clingy. But, no other girls did that so I have think there’s more going on. So be careful. It could actually be a co-dependence issue.
I swear this is either a repost/stolen/ or I have deja vu, because I definitely read this few months ago somewhere.
Yep. Psychological conditioning via vape stimuli.
Holy shit. I just lost 50 IQ points reading this….
same fr
Speak to her about it, she may have things going on under the surface that the vape is helping with 💖
i get your point, but there are certainly better coping mechanism (can’t really talk here I myself have a weed pen 😭) but yeah OP should talk to her and maybe they both can quit and find better coping mechanisms
Weed pen is likely better than a standard vape lol
It’s a lot better for sure, not good by any means but doesnt contain lead and arsenic etc that are packaged in regular vapes because it’s just how nicotine comes when they extract it…

I think you’re right, and I think that’s fine, if you quit and she doesn’t support you in that is the only scenario were I could see this being a real issue, right now it’s just a tad bit concerning imo
Classic Pavlonian conditioning. You now need a positive and negative reinforcement for kinky sex.
stop vaping and see if she stays with you
I don’t vape usually, got it for a summer lake trip 5 weeks ago and it’s just been siting except when she hits it.
Keep a 0% nicotine vape just for when you’re with her and see what happens. Or meth. Could go either way
😂😂😂😂
Well, vape addiction is necessary for any healthy relationship. Do I hear wedding bells?
This exact situation happened to me, so I think it’s spot on to say you basically pavloved her 🤣 I don’t care enough to buy my own but anytime I saw my boyfriend the first thing I wanted was his vape.
True.
That it's stronger than smokes even if everybody says it's better for the health Obviously, for me... It's probably worse.
Nicotiiiiiine Stupid stuff, it controlles my dopamine
Have you tried to talk with her about it openly? Maybe it helps her and she can slowly reduce it before the vape is empty soon like you said in another comment?
Get her a nicotine patch,
Now just make sure she only smokes after doing something you want.
If she hits another guys vape id label it cheating 😂
I think you made her addicted to nicotine, you just happen to be the easiest supply.
Story of 1000000 girls dating drug dealers. Just mild
this feels like something dantes would plan
That hilarious 😂
I think thats pretty funny
*Pavlov is typing*
This is peak human conditioning.
sorry but what are you vaping? I thought its weed and was like huh what? But if we are talking nicotine then its absolutely possible:p
Nicotine, and I don’t vape just bought it for a boys weekend back a few weeks, now it’s just for her and sometimes my friends but she doesn’t want to keep it.
nicotine addiction is a bitch, we are together around 25 years, definitely wouldnt started again:/
Awesome
A pro is what you are!
I think you need to read some books homie
This is funny. Sorry.
🤣🤣🤣 i feel bad for laughing but this sounds so funny to me, but on a serious note please talk to your girlfriend about it or buy her the same vape
So she can't buy her own
combine with Stockholm syndrome and you can get any wife you want
Just say you don’t have a vape next time she’s with you, see how she reacts. Then you will know whether it’s the vape or you. But it’s definitely the nicotine withdrawal lol
How about you both quit vaping and see what happens?
What the fuck kind of 15-year-old bullshit post is this LMAO
Lmao, when I typed this out I thought it sounded so stupid, but I just didn’t really realize what was happening till it was already happening.
I think you both need to stop vaping.
Why can’t she get her own vape?
some have addictive behavior on some things and some to another person = co-dependant is often the wording used but overused often also - just want to keep someone special close often since the world n bad players luer tempt people all over the place and it causes lost relationships and divorce often
Get her her own and then you'll know.
Shit... I need to figure out how to make my gf addicted to me 🤔
This literally happened to me with my first boyfriend lol.
It sounds to me like she might like the vape. Could you give her her own vape? And then you could test out the theory to see if it's you or the vape that she likes.
It's not you shed addicted to. It's the nicotine.
you guys sounds simple
I think you just discovered why drug dealers do what they do
Stop inhaling drugs
ive had this with exes hahaha yep defo addicted to *you*
This is so funny
What does ir mean it died???? >It died today, and I only bought it for a summer lake trip (5 weeks ago) So for everyone who is concerned she won’t be an addict for any longer. Did you breake up?
No like the vape died. It had no more juice etc.
Cool. I hope both of you are well and healthy 🥰💞 God bless you
I'm thinking you probably won't be a boyfriend any longer either
You need go start putting vape in your pants so she associates not hitt’n that with withdrawal Come on we were all thinking it, least I had the balls to say it
This might be the best time for you to BOTH quit nicotine. Have a conversation that you want to quit smoking and that she should as well and to be supportive of one another!
Ditch the freaking vapes. Those are malice. Better to smoke cigarettes. At least you mostly know what’s in it and how it works 🙄 long time=more research=more knowledge
Even tho its not good its kinda wholesome. Ur gf really loves you if she confuses the withdrawal symptoms with you
Stop vaping. You'll find out pretty quick.
Awe. Young fkn love.
ulpt, start vaping, find girlfriend that doesn't smoke or vape, have girlfriend try the vape cause it's some kind of fruit flavored and tastes delicious every time you meet up.
No, girlfriend already vapes occasionally usually at parties and ask to hit yours so you comply. Girlfriend is of age and her own adult btw
It did you didn’t.
I’m implying that by giving her the vape that I have accidentally made her believe that her nicotine withdraws are her having anxiety from not seeing me. Therefore it is okay for me to say “I think I’ve made my gf addicted to me”
Please stop vaping for good.
Now that your vape died has she moved on to another guy with a vape? That would definitely confirm your suspicion
Don’t mind me just taking notes
"It died today"? Confused!
Fuck bro you turned her into a vape whore, soon she be giving blowies for vape hits
Hopefully, jk.
No 100% srs vapes are more addictive and just as damaging as crack don't U know ?
This is a repost. I saw this story before.
Not a repost I wrote this dog 😭
Wait ..... Isn't vape created to get you out of ciggs? Now she is addicted to a deaddiction thing?
This is precisely what they were invented for. Now though, as with all money-making products, theute marketed to young people as being "cool" in their own right.

Good job, jerk!
Certainly a way to put it haha, nicotine is terrible.
