I think you're correct; the tobacco industry (lobby) just lost another customer!

What's the point of asking this question? If you like it, do it. If not, don't do it.

As always, whatever your personal stance is please please please please don't ask the government to initiate force on an innocent individual in pursuit of your goals.

I tried it but ultimately it didn't work. I had to quit cigarettes cold turkey. Nicotine is a truly evil drug and very difficult to get off of and stay off. If cutting back works for some more power to them. However, I find that with nicotine you have to just rip the bandaid off. For me, that meant quitting cold turkey.

The point is that I liked smoking cigs, and now I don't do that.

The media is "reporting" that vaping is the new scourge of the earth.

I'm reporting, here on CD, that vape is a way off cigs.

I don't want the .gov to do anything.

Thanks.

It's the dork fad of choice. Like those idiotic hover scooter things were a few years back.

Cigars reign supreme over all other tobacco choices.

There has been media hype lately demonizing vaping, right at the same time I chose to switch, so I'd appreciate anyone's opinion on the matter.

Thanks!
If it's working for you, I wouldn't quit. I would speed up the lessor nicotine ratio and not go super gradual. You know, just in case vaping is horrible like they say it is.

I did the same thing as you. I have a thing with my hands which always wanted to be busy, smoking filled the need all too easily. I tried vaping and it worked fine for me. I use 0 nicotine juice.

This demonizing of it is just stupid. SOmebody trying to find a cause and a paycheck. ENOUGH.

This is absurd...think about it for a minute, they are warning people about vaping and more than likely, going to create some new regulations on its sale...but regular cigarettes get a free pass...and we know for a fact how deadly they are!! Unbelievable!! LOL

Make it illegal for any youth teen etc. The illness that do come from infections of the lungs are devastating. The droplets are some how really bad on the lungs. Is it the item used or the drug I don’t know. But find out!
