Last week, I was out with a friend and ran out of ultra lights, and borrowed a normal 'light' cigarette...I started coughing on the first drag I took, I couldnt smoke it, it was too strong.
Juul have a very high nicotine content, far higher than what anyone should be putting in their body. Vaping a low level of nicotine and then cutting back every week or two until you are vaping zero nicotine is an easy and painless way to quit. Avoiding flavored nicotine removes most of the risk associated with vaping - you are inhaling a small amount of pharmaceutical grade nicotine with two chemicals that have been used for decades in inhalers, propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/28/the-...on-vaping.html

Legal pot is always going to be expensive because the taxes are always going to be high.In New Jersey's discussions about legalization,The legislature Wanted a 10% tax, which would have been the lowest in the country. The governor wanted it to be even higher, which is one of the reasons we still don't have legal part yet even though voters said yes to it at the ballot. The legislatures argument was that the higher you make the tax, the less of a dent you make in an illegal pot market, because it's cheaper to buy it without the tax.
The risk is for the seller, primarily.

Yes, Im aware of JUULs high nicotine content, but they do not have the TAR that cigarettes do, and tar is what clogs yours lungs up.


NONE of this is good for your body...Im just trying to find the least harmful thing, I would love to quit all of it, I just dont think I can do it.

You're right, JUUL doesn't have the chemicals that kill you like cigarettes, but no other e-cigs do either. What I'm suggesting is that you go to a local vape shop and buy an inexpensive reusable vape device and try it. I've seen e-cigs get several of my friends and family members off cigarettes for good, and over time, most have completely gotten off e-cigs as well. My chain smoking neighbor is the latest, he must have smoked two packs a day, after he started using e-cigs he started using them more and more and smoking less, he could use them in the house where his wife wouldn't allow him to smoke cigarettes, they were convenient and saved him probably $10 a day. He told me he went to a vape shop and they set him up with a starter kit then he started following a forum https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...bers-forum.39/

I have been meaning to stop by one of those Vape shops, I know quite a few people that use ecigs from these places and many have quit cigarettes with them.
