Vapor's effect on the lungs

[warp1900]

My grand father smoked 2 cigars and 1 pack of cigarettes a day for all his life since he was 16 years old.
He died last year at 94, and he was very active till his last days.
Never had respiratory problems.

So, does that mean that smoking is good?

Each one of us is different even though we think we are all the same.
That is why medicine is not an exact science.
I don't care what the FDA or anyone else says... I care about what my own body "tells" me and that is what i go for.

I decided when I started on e-cigs to see how long I could inhale (regular air) to test my lung capacity so that I could then test to see if it improved. I managed a 4 second inhale, which I realize was really sad. I tried at 30 days of vaping and can manage 14 seconds now. I'd say that's a HUGE improvement in lung capacity! Not a very scientific test, but I know I feel so much better. I can also smell and taste better than I have been able to since I started smoking 23 years ago. My husband thinks I smell and taste better too .

i've smoked 6 or so marlboro lights analogs per day for about 8 years (i know, light compared to some others here) now.. is that going to cause noticeable affects? i haven't really paid much attention really, so i don't even know. once i get my ecig, im not going to smoke analogs at least for a week and see how i feel. i've quit before, and i can say taht i genereally did feel better, but i think it was because of the nicotine.

Many use VG or PG because they have reactions to one or the other. VG is also popular because it creates a more dense vapor that lingers longer. We don't know anything, except many of us have been able to stop smoking cigarettes by satisfying the cravings with ecigs.

Schm00zer, 13 weeks and still no coughing.

I can tell you I started vaping Saturday and haven't touched an analog since...And I already feel better for it....My only problem is a headache that has developed and a slight burn in the lungs when I inhale from my e-cig...The headache I cant figure out if its too little or too much nic. The lungs I attribute to healing...but I have been vaping alot, bother 0 nic and low...we shall see! I was about a 1/2 pack a day smoker for about 20 years and my 510 has done more for me in less than a week than the patch, or gum could ever do.
