Why Don't You Smoke?

[Ex-California]

Regular smoker. Fuck everybody

Do. Not. Do. This. To. Your. Kids.

Easy to say. Hard to do. But I agree.

I used to smoke. Started when I was 16. Had long periods when I didn't smoke and used Snus instead. However, the urge for a cigarette never went away. Until I started vaping that is. Now I don't have any urge for tobacco any more. It's like that part of the brain is gone. I feel an urge for the vape instead but that is a lot less powerful. I can ignore it with no effort.

100% vaping cured me as well. Now I don't vape either. I recently started chewing seeds when I drive but that's a habit, not an addiction.

In my other periods of being quit, a cig would smell really good, or I'd see someone in a car smoking and wish I could be doing that. Vaping killed all of that

Same experience. Such a relief. I could stop vaping as well. Now I just do it when watching TV or playing computer games. It keeps me from biting my nails.
Pumpkin Seeds are one of the most beneficial things you can eat to improve prostate health. Fuck cancer.

Im glad that this a smoker forum. I use e cigarettes and will continue to do so. They will have to put me in an iron lung before I even think about stopping. And thats the bottom line!

I've looked into vaping before. The shit they put in that fluid is not fit for human consumption. I'm genuinely unsure which is worse for you..

I've been vaping for six years, now. I started with 1.8 strength and am now down to .3.

Cigarettes were a constantly on my mind addiction. Vaping is not. If I leave my battery at home and we're going out for awhile, it's no big deal. I often go for several hours before my body asks for it. I imagine at some point soon, the desire will completely fade.

What a difference!

@ Grumps - Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin are both GRAS (generally regarded as safe.) While they aren't the best thing to consume, it's far better than the shit they put into cigarettes.

Cigarettes contain
-Hydrogen cyanide.
-Formaldehyde.
-Lead.
-Arsenic.
-Ammonia.
-Radioactive elements, such as uranium (see below)
-Benzene.

Check out the vape shack website. Their banana flavor is the best juice Ive ever had. Give it a shot bro. You might like it.

Does vaping carry a risk of copd? I have no idea how it compares to cigarette smoke.

It's getting some major research in the UK. It appears that the US and Europe are coming at vaping from different directions.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/201 ... esearchers

The US National Institute on Drug Abuse has warned that e-cigarettes could contain “potentially toxic metal nanoparticles”. Vaping “might be less harmful than cigarettes”, the agency said, but more research was needed on its long-term effects.

By contrast, the UK agency Public Health England announced that e-cigarettes could be “95% less harmful than tobacco”

We are the test group. I have no doubt inhaling anything other than oxygen is horrible for you, but they dont know the full health risks yet. Supposedly studies have shown its less bad than smoking so idk.

Not to nit pick but inhaling only oxygen will kill you.
