Hello there! Happy to see you are both on this path already. Feels pretty strange after all the years of smoke, but with each passing day it becomes more normal. The main thing for me is simply re-gaining choice around the tobacco. We are actually growing it in the garden this year, so I do intend to have a little puff in around six months. For the most part it is the industrial processing of tobacco which makes it bad for us. This is why indigenous tribes who grow their own don't know what lung cancer is.

I think you would be prudent to prepare for a world in which lockdowns are a permanent feature of life. Certainly for those of us who don't want to be part of medical experiments.

If I ever have problems finding what I need, the dark web has it. And it can be delivered. While there seems to be a lot of fear around this route I have been using it for years and always found it to be excellent. My only advice would be not to use these kind of sites as long term wallets. They have a nasty habit of getting shut down and re-booting as something else.
