Sdustin 578 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 So I quit the cancer sticks about 3 years ago. Switched to e-cigs. Just wondering does anyone here use one or have been considering switching to a vaporizer? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOT 3,742 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Nope. I stopped the nicotine addiction 16 years ago. I haven't bowed to it since, but it's still there. I just won't give in. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Nope! Too dangerous. https://health.ucsd.edu/news/releases/Pages/2016-01-26-e-cigarettes-superbugs-and-immune-system.aspx That report had nothing really to say. I've used one for 3 years daily and haven't been sick once. Although I hardly ever get sick so that doesn't really mean anything I guess. I've researched and researched and have yet to find any real evidence it causes anything. I make my own juice I used veagtible glycerin and a small amount of propylene glycol and all natural flavorings. And if course nicotine which still causes bad stuff. But I no longer inhale tar and smoke. My wife hated the smell and my clothes always smelled. Not anymore. I'm sure it's not good for you as most things aren't. But id be curious to see what the same scientists have to say about using an indoor firing range. I'm sure it's much worse for your health according to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I quit cigarettes with vaping. Still vape, but not as much as I smoked. No sickness either. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I quit cigarettes, then cigars, now smoke a pipe. The pipe is more of a hobby that an addiction! The pipe is self limiting. It takes a lot more get it ready, and also takes considerable maintenance. Now I get an occasional nicotine fix without the habit getting out of hand! Pipe tobacco is inexpensive when ordered on line. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheDeacon 168 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Been vaping since 2009 after a round of pneumonia. After I could breathe again and had started craving nicotine a friend got me an e cig. Worked out fine and I haven't looked back since or been tempted to go back to cigarettes. As a matter of fact they don't even smell good anymore. I only use the tobacco flavor at 24mg of nic. My doctor has read all the same studies I have found and has no objections to my use of it.
