Why did you start vaping?

why did i start vaping? harm reduction.
but how i got started is somewhat accidentally. i had experimented with e-cigs a few years ago but wasn't too impressed. more recently out of a lark i decided to give them a try again and was impressed how much they had improved. when i then started vaping that day i smoked only around 3 cigarettes (as opposed to 30-40), the next few days i only smoked one or two, by the end of the week i was not smoking at all.
i was blown away. i didn't get the new e-cig to quit but it just happened so seamlessly that like many others here i've become evangelical about it --telling all my smoking friends the good news of vaping. what i always emphasize is the lack of effort on my part. people are impressed because i'm known around my social circle as an unapologetic chain smoker.
i realize vaping is not without its own risks but harm reduction is the key.
