Positive side effects of vaping

[ProStreet]

I have noticed something very strange. I am about to turn 30 and started smoking marlboro menthol lights when I was 20. My hearing has never been great but it wasnt bad. Over the course of the last 10 years my hearing slowly got worse and worse. It reached it peak about 6 years ago when I finally went to an ENT and she said I had collapsed ear drums and my hearing was around 50% of a normal persons.

She said the tubes that lead from the inner ear to the throat were irritated and closed off which creates a negative pressure in the middle ear and it has collapsed my ear drums. So she put tubes in my ears that were supposed to last around a year. While they were in my hearing came back to normal right away! They fell out after only 3 weeks and 1 1/2 months and I was back to terrible hearing again. I never went back to the ENT.

Well a couple days ago for the first time in years my left ear for no reason poped open and has been wide open ever since! I hope my right ear comes back to normal also. I have read where smoking can cause inner ear problems and I have a feeling it is what caused my hearing problem. Now it sounds like everybody is screaming at me!

Since 2006 I have had inner ear problems. It was really bad. I had so much pressure. I feeled awful. I was dizzy. I had to get tubes in both my ears and still have tubes. This is my second pair. I think this is from me smoking cigarettes. I really need to stop smoking and have turned to the e-cig. I am still smoking analogs ,but not as many. I am hoping to slowly drop the analogs. I really need too. All my life I never had ear problems,but I didn't smoke either. Started smoking cig after being off them for 17 years. I know stupid. Now I can't seem too stop. Started smoking back in 1998. The e-cig are my only hope to stop smoking analogs. I have tryed everything. My ear doctor tells me all the time you got to stop smoking. He saids,you won't get better until you stop smoking. I am hoping that e-cigs are my answer.

Its funny but my last week of smoking regular cigarettes was the worst experience I every had to end the 13 year trend. First I developed chronic bronchitis, where I just kept coughing constantly everytime I forgot to take a short breath, I sneezed once in the morning and I actually coughed my voice out for the first time! Sounds sick but I kept coughing up loads of mucus repeatedly through out entire days, even in my freaking sleep! I have been e-smoking for 9 days and the results kicked in only on day 3. Smellling and tasting extremely improved GOD I HATE THE SMELL OF CIGARETTES! LOL. I mean I can just smell it on people's breath, and Oh yea I make it known LOL. I literley just sneezed! only coughed twice and thats it! I can stress enough how great it is to actually yawn without cutting myself short. E-cigs have definatley became a complete life changer, and I Completely want to Thank each and every one of you on this forum. Best and easiest transition anybody can possibly make

Wow I have just got back home from my daily 6 mile bike ride.....and although it didn't seem to make very much difference when I first started vaping.... suddenly after two months .... the last couple of days I have really noticed an improvement in my breathing, I actually had short bursts of 'racing' the bike today, instead of simply being glad to make the whole distance.

This is a very inspirational thread, thanks for all the stories. I hope to be "there" soon, still struggling with analogs til the 901 comes next week. I'm really hoping this is an answer for me.

Aside from the usual positive side effects of vaping I've noticed...

My girlfriend no longer nags me 24/7 to quit smoking.
Positive Physical Effect: Less headaches and stress from nagging.

I hope shes not reading this.
But if you are... you know I'm only kidding!

I started the e cigarette as a lark, not knowing what to expect. I figured maybe I would smoke a bit less. I have smoked over 40 yrs. I like it about 10 times more than the real ones (it is SO SMOOTH and tasty), and have given up the real ones accidentally. If I change my mind I can always go back.

Another positive side effect for me: I have had a coating on my tongue for years and it has never stayed clean for long no matter how I hard I have tried...but I have always thought it was all the tea I drink and nothing to do with smoking..(I am as much a tea addict as a smoking addict)....but now after almost two months of vaping my tongue is all pink and lovely and very easy to keep clean.

I just wanted to tell everyone that liquid refills need to be treated with care. I only been vaping for abou a week and just received my drops. Do not immediatly inhale after refilling a cartrridge. Wait about an hour or you will get a bad surprise
