Hi Vaping Underground. I work at the Center for Critical Public Health, which is a research group focused on challenging the status quo in public health. The main thing that brings me here is that the center is gearing up for a project that will look at vaping from a cultural perspective, and we would like to post a thread here at VU to learn more about vaping from anyone who would be interested in joining the conversation - a little bit like an online focus group.
After talking to a moderator about this, my understanding is that this kind of conversation should go in the Online Advocacy forum - so the current plan is to post a new thread there (including info about what we're doing, and a couple questions to get started). If anyone has suggestions/feedback/etc. on this or anything else, please PM me any time!
I don't have a personal vaping story exactly, but on a personal level anyway - I got especially interested in vaping because of a friend who was having trouble quitting smoking and wanted to know more about other nicotine products. The more I dug into other ways to use nicotine like vaping, the more I realized that I had to learn. Also since I tend to be into technology stuff in general, the DIY side of vaping & the different ways people use vaping gear are especially interesting to me.
So yeah, that's me. Another thing I wanted to mention is that I could post findings from this study once it's complete on a forum here, if that is something that the community would be interested in... or if you want to have a summary sent to you personally, please just send me a PM and we can arrange that. And thanks for taking the time to read this.
