[@justinhoyt6641]

I should have listened to my parents and just never have done it, as someone who vaped like every 2 seconds when I was off work or not doing my traditional endurance workouts. It made my lungs so sore and I became short of breath, It had effected my running big time eventually until I quit. Luckily i think it was that I was already highly active enough with running and fast paced walks, so my lungs weren't damaged to a permanent point, everything went back to normal after I quit. But with 2 experiences I had of not being able to breath sufficiently, was a slight scare the first, but especially second time around by having sore lungs included made that occasion horrifying. Im just happy I realized it and am now vape free, im thankful to have only caused temporary swelling and no scarring, and that I'm completely healthy after the 2 years of vaping the way I did.

[@frowniebrown86]

I recently quit vaping after doing it for 4 years. If you have asthma and are sensitive to allergies, it def drys out your throat and irritates your lungs. I would never defend vaping as harmless thing. It’s more of a source of shame, waste of money, and generally just a stupid crutch. Vaping vs smoking being it thc or nicotine, is definitely a safer alternative. The problem is that it’s harder to quit for that reason. You can do it a lot of places that you could never smoke in, it tastes and smells better, and it is way less irritating to my lungs. The problem is that it’s hard to quit because it’s harder to keep track of how much you actually vape. So a pack a day smoke could reduce their cigarettes but a couple every day….a vaper really has no idea. Plus it’s just embarrassing because it looks douchey. There are lots of reasons to quit that don’t involve lying to consumers. People who do it and buy from legit sources already know from experience what the rest of you don’t- there is really no harsh, smoke like aspect to it. Quit because you know your kids are watching. Quit because it’s a waste of money and a source of embarrassment. Quit because you want to be able to use both of your hands and not just the one that’s not holding your vape.

As a long time cigarette smoker, since 2002, I started vaping to quit cigs, for the 6th time. But this time I felt like I was really able to kick the cigs cause I now have these alternatives. I definitely don't smoke a vape a day. I try to stretch it for about a week. I also try to leave it at home and not bring it everywhere I go. I do have very young co workers. For reference im 32 and some of them are ranges 15-22. All of them vape and they go through so many of them a week. I honestly don't know where someone gets the time to hit theirs every 10 minutes every single day. But then again they made these so cigarette smokers will have an easier time quitting. Thus far has helped me. Next is to kick these pens and then I'll be at 100% health. Staying active still and eat healthy. Until then, I'll enjoy my alternative.

Let's clarify that it's counterfeit the carts NOT Nicotine!!

[@addytuney2028]

Here is my point of view; first off, nicotine vaping was invented by a pharmacist in 2003 after he experienced the death of his father from smoking. The design was improved and nic vape shops started to open across the country. Smokers found nic vaping was able to allow them to quit when nothing else worked. A cottage community was born and ex-smokers opened up more nic vape shops because they could help smokers and make a living doing it. Smoking rates started to plummet which disrupted the money flow to big tobacco, big healthcare, big pharma, State sin tax income and tobacco control/body parts non-profits (and the billionaires who used them as tax shelters). In 2018 big tobacco saw the writing on the wall and bought into Juul. The fore mentioned organizations enacted prohibitionist laws against flavored nic vaping across the country to protect their interests which proliferated a booming illicit market. Sweden will soon be a smokefree country because they have a well regulated tobacco harm reduction strategy in place (nic vaping, snus, heat not burn). If you smoke, please get to a vape shop and get a setup that you like. Slowly drop the nicotine level down if you wish and quit. Our youth are now smokefree (very low regular use of nic vaping at 2.6%) and adult smoking is the lowest ever recorded. Removed from the engineered addictive cigarette Nicotine is NOT a carcinogen and is NOT addictive but is dependence forming (like caffeine). With the advances in modern science we now know nic vaping is 95+% less harmful and much easier to quit. The outbreak of lung injuries often known as "EVALI" was nothing to do with nicotine vaping An examination of the evidence shows that EVALI cannot have been caused by nicotine vaping. The characteristics of the lung injury outbreak are consistent with localised supply chain contamination. The contaminant has been identified and is known to be Vitamin E Acetate. This had been used as a thickener or cutting agent in illicit Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabis vape pens. This agent cannot be mixed with nicotine vaping liquids and would serve no useful purpose if it could be. No other cause or causal agent has been identified that would both implicate nicotine liquids and be consistent with the geographical and temporal pattern of the lung injury outbreak. www.gov.uk/government/publications/vaping-in-england-evidence-update-march-2020 Vaping in England: evidence update March 2020 and again in '22 How to Read the CDC’s Confusingly Presented Youth Vaping Data by Danielle Jones filtermag.org/how-to-read-cdc-youth-vaping-data/ 15 THR Doctors/PhDs ; Balancing Consideration of the Risks and Benefits of E-Cigarettes. news.umich.edu/current-focus-on-preventing-youth-vaping-could-hinder-adults-efforts-to-stop-smoking/ Dependence on tobacco and nicotine nicotinepolicy.net/blogs/karl-fagerstrom/ Safer Nicotine Wiki: safernicotine.wiki/mediawiki/...
