Anecdata storytime: I used to smoke a pack a day, and when I switched to vaping I personally felt much better. I was able to do things a bit better than when I was smoking cancer sticks. Looking back I was lying to myself thinking it was just as good as quitting. I didn't feel the heavy tar on my lungs like cigarettes. I still noticed when pushing myself on work outs or hiking or biking or anything requiring aerobic activity that I would get sick to my stomach and almost puke like when you run long distance and are not used to it. I could go further than when I smoked but I would always hit this "wall" where I would get sick. Quit 100% 3 months ago and took up XC Skiing. I could only do 2 miles when I first started. Just last week I did 10 miles and I have been going once on the weekend every week so in 12 sessions I was able to 5x my aerobic ability. Starting at 0%, switching to vaping I would say made me feel/perform overall 15-20% better compared to cigarettes. Quitting vaping filled in that other 80% and the difference is like night and day and so obvious I was lying to myself to keep the habit alive longer than I needed to. Smoking timeline: Smoked 18-30, transitioned to vaping. 30-31 vaped 12mg juice. 31-32 vaped 6mg juice. 32-33 vaped 3mg juice. 33-34 vaped 0 mg juice. Quit Vaping 100% last Thanksgiving cold turkey (really was just mental habit at this point smoking 0 mg juice) 3 months vape free!
