I’m on about week 5 of cigarette cessation. Yesterday, I went to my little cheapo vapes website and put some cartridges in my cart. Before I entered my credit card information, I had second thoughts and backed out. Trying not to rely on other sources of nicotine, but I am extremely tempted.
I realize vaping is probably not as bad for you as cigarettes, but is it still bad for your lungs and whatnot? I’m thinking that it likely is. Plus its an addiction when using nicotine cartridges so…
In a poll I made, people said I should quit all and not rely on vape overwhelmingly.
I am trying to abide by this and my own hesitations about vaping instead of smoking.
Anyway, would just like to know your thoughts on it.
As someone who came off smokes before the vape craze I’d say if you can avoid it all. I’m not up with the latest but I found stopping ended up easy here simply because smokes are so expensive . I don’t even know how anyone can smoke here anymore. It’s ridiculous.
My vote would be don’t replace smoking with vaping but I’m on a straight edge health kick at the moment.
I vape a lot. And it’s been a life saver. On the odd occasion i buy rollup tobacco I’m wheezing at night and waking up not being able to breath.
Some of the products contained Vitamin E Acetate in other countries - and i think that’s what fuelled the scare with “popcorn lung”. That and the THC based vapes that were causing lung damage.
I reckon the Uk based vapes are a lot safer, cos they only contain the 2 or 3 ingredients.
Hey bowens, i was thinking the same thing and i did the same thing.
I am entering week 2 since i quit smoking, the worst day was the third but i read online that the first 2-3 weeks are the hardest.
I don’t want to rely on other sources of nicotine, i bet if i vape i would pick up smoking again, it’s a small step from freedom and addiction, vaping makes it smaller.
Actually nicotine is a highly addictive poison that causes both physical and psychological dependence. High doses can cause nicotine poisoning, which can be fatal, although rarely.
It’s a wonderfully effective insectiside in higher doses. Well, it kills everything in higher doses, but it gets used for insects when it’s not being put in addictive products for humans.
I tried vaping. Got pain in my chest after a little over a week so I quit. I think its with vaping as with trying the AP’s. It can work for some, but can be dangerous to others.
Smoking is certainly bad. I doubt vaping is much better. You might even vape more than smoking. Id just give it all up. That being said. I like tobacco and use heavily. Probably going to end up with no teeth and jaw cancer. At least ill know why!
Vaping is a lot healthier than smoking but is it still bad for you? Probably. Vaping hasnt been around long enough for people to know. Ive been vaping 14 years though and i still breathe fine
I vaped for a few years to sub for cigarettes. I started on a high concentration vape juice, and worked myself down on nicotine until it was 6-3-1-0mg.
Took me a while, but was much more comfortable quitting that way. I’m happily nicotine free now a days.
