WhyQuit - Nicodemon's Lies?
You need to quit nicotine - not should, need. Make your momma happy
Hope this helps.

While I do think *she should quit, everyone should be aware of the good things nicotine can do as well.For many these will seem a strange statement however current medical research actually supports the view that nicotine could actually have some serious health benefits.
The problem for many people is that Nicotine is responsible for the addiction of cigarette smoking, so must be bad for you.
They cannot accept that Nicotine could possibly be good for you and simply make it guilty by association.
Let's check out the facts.
Nicotine is NOT responsible for smoking deaths by cancer
Nicotine is actually one of around 4,000 chemicals that are consumed during cigarette smoking.
In addition to tar, there is also carbon monoxide, ammonia and arsenic. In fact, at least 43 of the chemicals in tobacco smoke are known to cause cancers of the lung, throat, mouth, bladder and kidneys.
Nicotine is ONLY the ingredient responsible for the addiction; it is some of the other compounds that are primarily responsible for the harmful health effects of smoking cigarettes.
There is no evidence to date that indicates that nicotine itself can cause cancer.
Nicotine in its natural state is safe and non toxic
Nicotine is a naturally occurring compound.
Trace elements can be found in common foods and vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, cauliflower and is also found in some teas.
In its natural state, and when ingested through the digestive system, nicotine is safe and non-toxic.
It does not present the health hazards associated with smoking cigarettes.
Medical research
Many studies including some sponsored by the federal government, have shown that nicotine may in fact delay the onset and effects of both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.
Furthermore, it may also improve symptoms of attention deficit disorder and also Tourettes syndrome.
Nicotine has also been found to influence mood, mental alertness, and addiction.
Scientists have discovered that nicotine acts on nerve cells to enhance the release of neurotransmitters, chemicals that relay messages within the brain and nicotine increases a person's ability to focus and pay attention.
Nicotine is also known to switch on receptors on the surface of cells in certain parts of the brain, causing these neurons to release the Neuro-transmitter dopamine, a chemical that is responsible for feelings of pleasure.
Why don’t we take the potential benefits of Nicotine seriously?
Efforts by the anti smoking lobby to stop smoking, have seen nicotine's potential benefits not get the recognition they deserve. Nicotine is simply seen as being bad due to its association with smoking, even though it is just one of numerous chemcials contained in a cigarette.
This is really like saying wheat is bad for you as some beers use wheat in the brewing process and people die of alcohol abuse. Of course, wheat in it's natural state is not the cause of death and we all know that, however we are less open minded on our view of nicotine.
Decide for yourself
Medical research into Nicotine shows by itself, in its natural state, it is safe and non toxic and medical evidence at present suggests that Nicotine could actually have serious health benefits.

While nicotine for the most part isn't harmful. It is not good to have any addiction. Why would you want to become addicted to something like this when you don't need to be especially at the age of 27. You've gone this long don't start now.
Agreed jenn, the reason mostly all of us started vaping is because we've already been suffering from the addiction. That's why e-cigs were created, a healthier alternative, not a way to start. Hope the fda doesn't get ahold of this thread
Nah, *she smoked analogs before the PV...and they have their own doctored documents, they don't need to doctor this thread!Agreed jenn, the reason mostly all of us started vaping is because we've already been suffering from the addiction.

P3rplexity, I'm a girl. I know that nicotine can be good and bad for you.
Sorry for the mistake, no real way of knowing that before now.
Anyway, why didn't you start vaping with 0 nic juice to begin with?
@ Clear_blue27
After reading through some of your posts I think you really should quit e-cigs all together. It takes the body about 72 hrs to get rid of nicotine, and since this is a very new habit for you, hopefully it won't be so stressful.
I thought of that. So that's what I'll be vaping.
