Inhaling hot steam into your lungs, consisting of how many chemicals? Including one notorious for causing popcorn lung.

Not sure why people thought it was a good idea to begin with.

Looking for a healthier alternative to smoking and being unwilling or unable to quit nicotine and give up the oral fixation/nervous habit etc...
I'm as guilty as anyone else unfortunately...I use a juul.

Been smoking since grade school, not taking a holier than thou stance by any means.

But people have gone crazy with the vaping stuff. Doing tricks and stupid shit, mixing all kinds of extra chemicals into the cartridges.

Dry herb vape is the only kind I mess with personally. That's just an oldschool volcano.

The issue isn’t really people looking for an alternative to sigs. It’s teenagers puffing on them all day every day into developing lungs.

A good friend of mine went to the ER last week for coughing up blood and shortness of breath. Most likely caused by vaping according to the hospital. First person I've known personally that's had problems from vaping. He's a couple months into a tren cycle and thought the shortness of breath was the tren until the coughing up blood started. Really freaked him out.

I think its both tbh. You are 100% correct about adolescent abuse of vape products. But there are also countless adult xsmokers who have convinced themselves vaping is safer/less harmful or whatever...its all bad (bottom line).

I vaped for a few months to quit smoking. I'd quit smoking for like seven years and got drunk at a concert a couple years ago and smoked one and was back to a pack a day immediately. Smoked for a few months, then vaped and smoked a couple months, then strictly vaped a few months, then quit vaping. Haven't touched either since.

Never smoked luckily. My parents both did and quit. My sis still smokes cigs.

 

[bolder]

Shew, I vape and heard about this story earlier today. I smoked cigarettes before and the vaping did help stop that habit. Plus it’s cheaper lol.

I always thought it was harmful considering I’m sucking on a battery pack (no homo )
My local vapor store said that a bill was passed that vapor oil is now considered as a tobacco product and all oil/juice has to be approved by the FDA before it can be sold. So guess what? They’re gonna be taxing the shit out of it just like they have tobacco!

Cigars anyone?!

 

[Uglyrichie]

Me and my wife vape, that's how we quit cigs. But it's still another addiction. I do like the fact I smell like cookies and not shit. My son who's 9 is wanting us to quit so I'm stepping down the nic level. What they don't say is that it was weed cartridges that someone was making.

I just got a year off nicotine, switched from regular cigarettes to vape, then did the patch to get off the vape. I'd puff on that thing all damn day for like 3 years straight. Glad to have that monkey off my back

Sugar coated nicotine gum worked for me, after about five years of trying to quit.

I dip here and there, cigar every now and again. No pull to smoke cigs again.

Started smoking at 12 (45 now). Quit smoking in my 20's but started dipping. Chew became a huge habit and was between 2 and 3 cans of Cope a day. Chewed for alot of years. Started smoking 5 years ago again to get off the chew, 30 bucks a can here by then. Tried Champix to quit smoking didnt work. Started vaping and got of the cigs a couple years ago. Still vape and be odd dip at work. I do want of the vape now, vaping 3mg nic so hoping to finally at some point get off it.

30 a can!!! Holy shit. I'd quit just because of that! I pay 6-11$ depending what state I'm in (mass or nh). I use bandits and usually average about one can a week when I'm using it. I'll probably use it half of the year, just on and off type of use. The only "vape" I've used was weed product and it killed my lungs fast. Just smoke regular weed now. That's it

Yup a coke habit would have been cheaper..... I had a US friend at one point sending me 10 cans every 2 weeks cut thr costs a bit

You're not in the states? Makes sense then, I though Massachusetts was goin to be near the highest priced in the nation. I figure California, new york and Massachusetts being among the priciest. Good that you have that friend!

I quit smoking almost three decades ago, cold turkey. I had tried patches and gum several times before, but it didn't work for me. Lucky vaping wasn't around then, I would have never quit. Of course, I still miss it. If I get a terminal disease, the first thing I'm going to do is buy pack of cigarettes and light one up.

I had a room mate in college who would smoke dried banana peals when he couldn't afford pot - which was always. But he had to go through a fairly complicated curing process to make it work. Now with vaping kids can easily smoke any damned thing they like, no mater how lethal. And for that I blame the government for making cigarettes so expensive. At least we knew the things were dangerous.
