Hey! FDA! Yeah, you.
You say that there is only anecdotal evidence that vaping helps people quit smoking. Well fuck you. Tomorrow morning at approximately 0730, I become living proof that you asshats have no clue WTF you are talking about.
TWO years without a cigarette after 30 years with them. I didn't even TRY to quit. My wife asked me to try, so I bought my first Kanger EVOD starter kit just to 'get me by long enough to make it look like I was really trying quit'.
One week after, I just stopped smoking. I haven't smoked since. I am NOT a quitter. I never quit smoking I just stopped smoking because I like vaping better. Plain and simple.
I'm 50. I feel so much better than I have in years. I can snorkel again. I can go up and down stairs all day long without gasping for air. I can deal with summer heat much, much, much better. It doesn't make me feel like I am suffocating. Everything tastes better. I can smell things again. I don't get colds or sinus infections any more. Flying is so much better now that I can stealth vape my way through the whole trip. No more leaving the movie theater, restaurant, or bars to get a nic fix. Life is awesome!
Disclaimer: A friend of mine that had also quit smoking via vaping and I bummed a cigarette off of a friend at the 2014 NYE party. We went outside and took 1 puff each. We put it out, and returned the remainder to its owner. Both of us gagged on it. He smoked for 35 years, and I smoked for 30 years, and the two of us couldn't take more than 1 puff each. THAT was the last puff, but I don't count it as breaking a stop smoking attempt. I see it as confirmation that I had gone past stopping to stopped.
Very cool... I didn't have a VU banner, so I uploaded a screen grab of the one from the 'forum that shall not be named'. VU took out the ugly color scheme, and added its own name. Sweet!
