I posted your request in the moderator's forum. He should see that when he comes around.

The question 'are you a smoker' is I think potentialy dangerous in sofar, that the choice 'WERE you a smoker' is missing - hence people that now don't smoke anymore, but were a smoker when they started vaping will partially say yes to this question (while no longer the truth - yet by NOT answering this, an outsider will be able to pull out of his tall hat, that this poll 'proves' that many that never have smoked, did start on the e-cigs! - namely all those that did not choose 'are you a smoker' because they rightly feel 'I WAS, but I am not anymore'....)

For the rest: good poll! Sorry for this remark, but I really feel that there is potantial danger here for wrong and hurting interpretation by those set on making the numbers fit their agenda...

I loved being able to leave the "I am a smoker" box unchecked

I did check the 'I am a smoker' box since I am unsure if the poll means I am a smoker and I vape or I am a non smoker and I vape either way I haven't touch an analog for coming up to a year

It should really be 100% over the legal age limit.....that means we have some under age vapers.

That's a good point. Any suggestions on how to fix that?

Tagging on to Katink's point, if I smoked and was addicted to analog cigarettes, then, technically I am a smoker, even if I choose to vape 100% of the time. So I chose 'I am a smoker'. Even at forty days without an analog, something could trigger me to regress.

Also, the point of this poll is unclear and will lead to skewed, inaccurate results unless a statistical method is employed. This poll will primarily codify information about the habits of e-cig forum members. The information still may be useful.

Vaping is not smoking - how could it be, when there's no smoke? Congratulations, you're now a non-smoker
