Introductions. Hello, my name is Nate. My story is a bit different than most. I started vaping in 2011. As part of a research assignment in that same year, my task was smoking risk assessments. My first goal was to identify the carcinogens contained in cigarette smoke and why they are addictive. In nicotine I found that it was not a carcinogen, very beneficial and was being used in several medicinal ways. I found vaping to be one of the lowest cost, least harmful, with the most measurable nicotine bioavailability. It also became a fun hobby.
