The first time I quit smoking, I used an e-cig to help quit, and it was great.
But eventually I started smoking again, and so I tried to use an e-cig like the previous time. But circumstances were different, e-cigs were different (nicotine salts), and now I consume 2x the nicotine than I did from a pack of smokes.
It's too good. It's convenient, always on you, always ready to go. No unpleasant taste or smell. No need to go outside in the winter. And cheaper, despite the increased intake noted above.
There's a lot more we need to know, and for now I still believe that vaping is not as bad as cigarettes, but I'm sorry to see we once again hooked a generation on an addictive harmful substance.

- cik2e 5y agoAre you assuming that the comment you are replying to is in regard to vaping indoors in public spaces? No reason to do so. And also, why conflate smoking with vaping? They are completely different in terms of immediate and lingering odor, as well as second hand effects.
- LarrySellers 5y agoWe shouldn't assume that about the GP, but indoor vaping in public spaces is much common than indoor smoking in the US.

We are because I cannot count the amount of times I've seen ignorant vape clouds billowing away from someone or smelling a fruity floral vape aroma in places where its not allowed. All vapes have done is make it easier for people to smoke where they shouldn't.
- drsnow 5y agoVapor is not problematic second-hand, smoke is. The two are incomparable.
- tragictrash 5y agoYou don't know that, it hasn't been around long enough. You don't have proof that it is harmful, but you don't have proof it isn't either.
- drsnow 5y agoI don't know it but I don't have to. I don't have to prove a negative. It's on you to show that it is harmful, otherwise it isn't.
- notyourwork 5y agoI'm not sure anyone is able to conclude one way or the other. I'd like to make the choice about what my lungs consume and not have some person decide because they are ignorant.
- drsnow 5y agoDon't vape then. If someone in public is vaping near you, walk away.
