Hi everybody,

More and more people are now using vaping instead of cigarettes.
I see my contemporaries using it a lot. I don't know if it is food enough for people to use it instead of traditional cigarettes?
Can anyone give me your opinion on this matter?

Why do you even have to smoke anyway? I mean, sure, it's safer than cigs, but you're still getting a lifelong addiction to nicotine, but for what?

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Zyn for the win.

I don't trust vape juice or chewing tobacco. Zyn and other nicotine pouches are pure lab-grown dopamine without the carcinogens.

Isn't vaping just the equivalent of drinking 0% beer?

Both are remarkably uncool

What's wrong with black tar heroin? Why do people feel the need to change things?

I quit smoking around 2013 and switched to vaping but I was skeptical.

My family doctor was all for it

The hardware has definitely evolved from bulky to slick little sticks.
Today I use this one:

In Quebec where I live all flavors have been banned (somebody think of the children!) but my shop has some good tobacco flavored juice variations.

I just enjoy blowing smoke and also fuck cigarettes, a pack is now 23$

Be VERY careful which vape cartridges you use. It was the cheap chinese THC ones that were toxic with vitamin E and stuff that caused all the lung issues a few years back. Unlike tobacco, there is no long standing traditions or businesses to ensure quality and consistency.

Personally I stick to pipes and cigars. Much more about the purity of the tobacco and the smoking experience and less about the drugs they dose you with.

Are you trying to quit cigarettes? Then I'd consider vapes. But if you are thinking of STARTING, then don't. Neither of these products is even remotely good for you or safe.

$23? That's pittance! In Australia they charge $60 for a pack of Benson & Hedges and vapes are banned lol And the government wonders where this booming illegal tobacco market has sprung up from!

Do whatever you can to stop smoking. All smoking. Use a vape, use a patch, use anything and then quit those too. You don't want to end up sick all of the time and always feel like you're just short of finally catching your breath; when it catches up to you it's not pretty. And that's not even getting into the cancers.

You wanna put a Personal Electronic Nicotine Inhalation System in your mouth?

I swore vaping would look sick as shit when I heard about it like in 2008. Like some kind of cyberpunk look. But no way. The coolest level look you can attain is "dirtbag".

My friend is an middle school art teacher and he showed up one day and six 8th graders were missing because their VAPE RING got busted. If they think it's cool, it's not.

Is it like 2013? Don't mate.

I started smoking when I was 11. I was up to a pack a day by the time I was 16 and during my early 20's work was "unhealthy" and I was north of 2 1/2 to 3 per day. I quit when I was 27 using a drug called Chantix which had an unfortunate side effect of unlocking a shit ton of night terror issues I had outgrown (repressed I am sure) during puberty.

Still have aboustly awful dreams to this day but I haven't touched a cig in 20 years. Fucking worth it. FTLOG don't start smoking.

It's doesn't stink up your home and clothes and your not coughing up crap from your lungs. Also no fire risk as well. It's easier to give up vaping due to the lower nicotine content as well.

Depends which research you want to believe but some say its evidence of being worse because most vapors end up with nicotine levels in their vape that matches or even exceeds what they had with cigs

Just kick the habit... its tough but its one less thing controlling you in your life

 

[reinking]

Damn. I remember buying cigarettes for my grandmother and her throwing a fit when they hit $10 a carton.

 

[MrRibeye]

I dunno, can you?

(teachers always make that joke when you ask if you "can" do something)
