Hi everyone!
I have recently stopped smoking thanks to vaping and I feel great. No more cough, more oxygen in my body. I reaped immense benefits by quitting, in my health, finance, self respect to say the least. I thought I would be praised by all the folks who wished I quit smoking.. Think again..
My buddy (a light smoker) objected to the fact that switching to vaping wasn't really an improvement to be proud of since there was still comsuption of nicotine involved. I argued that it was only if you wanted/needed to since you are in control of the nic level of your juice. At least, you have so far eliminated hundreds of harmful chemical by quitting the analog. Coffeine is also a stimulant just like nicotin, but it doesn't carry the same stigma. Besides, chewing nicorettes is quite the same thing, but that's socially ok.
I think that I could never have stopped smoking without vaping instead. I also think that smokers wish this was not blowing out the water any excuses they still had not to smoke, and ex smokers who quit cold turkey resent the fact that it is so easy and wish vaping was available back in the days they struggled to stop and successfully did.
Every doctor told me I should quit. When I did, it gave my doc whom I deeply respect a pause as if I complicated things. Where could my ailments come from now?
On the street , I notice folks staring at me and my nautilus. Probably asking themselves what in the world is this?
In short, I think that we have been so brainwashed by the war on smokers that anything that remotely ressemble smoking is socially unacceptable. It will take a long time and patience to change the perception. The facts alone won't help.
So far, it seems that inhaling PG or VG is harmless. I hope it stays that way and it seems to be much safer than smoking anyway.
I hope you will share your social experiences and thank you for it
