Non-smoker wanting to start vaping (without nicotine)

[darkstorm]

There's a huge difference between an ex-smoker going down to zero nicotine and an admitted non-smoker using an e-cig at zero nic. Those that want to ban e-cigs are looking for stuff like this which shows they're attracting non-smokers.

What is so wrong with attracting non smokers? The vapors taste great and the practice is relaxing. With 0 nicotine the hobby offers all the positive aspects of meditative smoking without many of the health risks. My non smoking wife started vaporizing 0 nic to curve her sweet tooth to great effect. She lost 15 pounds so far vaping 0 nic desert juices. Just as there is gum with and without nicotine there are ejuices with and without. I have no problem with non smokers vaping; in fact there are benefits.

No criticism or self righteousness intended. Just because I don't understand something doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with it. There are many things I don't understand. I don't understand women and there is nothing wrong with them.

I am a non-smoker but want to try vaping because I would like to help my husband quit smoking. Also other personal reasons that I honestly feel too new here to go into at this point... Personal choice.

We do have a sub-forum for this topic

Zero Nicotine Vaping and Quitting Vaping

Thank you.

I find things like smoking pipes and cigars without inhaling the smoke quite relaxing. I'm quite interested in vaping for flavor and relaxation.

Everyone needs to stop taking this out of context. From what I gather, he smokes an occasional cigar or pipe. I know many people that do this that do not consider themselves 'smokers'. If he wants to switch to vaping, why not? Its a better alternative than a cigar or pipe tobacco isn't it? Why scold him for making a smart decision? At least there probably won't be a chance for nicotine addiction later on in his life... which there would be with the 'occasional' cigar or pipe. Folks, we all started with the 'occasional' smoke. Look where that got most of us. Most of us here are nicotine addicts and use vaping as a healthier way to cope with that addiction. At least he is being proactive about it and not giving himself the chance to get addicted in the first place. So I say kudos to him. I think its a smart decision.

You all got something totally different from the OP then I did. Did everyone miss the part where he said he said he enjoys a pipe or cigar to relax? I took that as him wanting to replace those tobacco products by vaping. I don't understand why all of the negative posts just because he does not use cigarettes-but does use other tobacco products.

Wouldn't his wanting a zero nic e-juice to replace his cigar or pipe smoke be at least a little better? Don't get me wrong, I totally understand that vaping is under the microscope right now, and I know that you guys have good intentions, but the treatment of that new member was a little harsh. It seems that just about everyone zero'd in on the part where he said he did not smoke cigarettes, but missed the other part of his post.

Oh and bad on me for not reading carefully either. I just noticed that this thread is over a month old and was just recently bumped. I also noticed that the OP only has 3 posts total so has either just been lurking or got scared off and has not come back

Welcome to ECF hope in all the tempest you got your answer. In another addiction I have you have you Purists that if your not a real addict by their definition you don't belong there. If vaping will keep you away from the alternative so be it. I don't recommend it but If your two choices are tobacco or vapor then ok vape. Just keep in mind that it's not like eating candy. I goes in your lungs.
Hope this helps.
Flavors are subjective try to go with as little PG as possible and more VG. Get a good supplier lots of them on here.

Only possible exception would be for someone under 18. No vape.

I would advise not to pick up vaping.

I think us smokers need to regroup as vapers and fight these smoking nazis with all we've got. As smokers they absolutely destroyed us and we can't let it happen again.

In this case the guy is using as a sub for a pipe or cigar. Probably harmless either way but this could be great. Maybe more people could enjoy the cool flavors of vaping over pipes and cigars and then we have a bigger army of vapers to stand up for our rights. If we lose and let them take away our right to vape a lot of people are going to die. My counter to the whole people are going to start out smoking with e-cigs is if those people didn't vape they would probably pick up a real cig, a cigar, a pipe, or chew or something more harmful than an e-cig anyway.

I think some of the smoking nazis are just mad at e-cigs becuase if it dominates the smoking market they aren't going to have anything to complain about. I think a lot of non smokers/non vaporsare on our side! I work with almost all non smokers and everyone is thrilled that I'm smoking e-cigs instead. Some are absolutely shocked becuase I always smoked and didn't care what people thought about it and never really tried to quit. Now some are like OMG if he stopped anybody could.

I took up vaping to reduce my cigar use and I enjoy it! I'm an ex analog smoker from 4 years ago who kept on with Cigars on occasion. Now, my clothes don't stink, and neither does my breath. It's silly, perhaps hypocritical for someone who is vaping to tell someone who wants to vape that they shouldn't. Everyone here is an adult and can do their own research, who may have their own reasons to vape or not.

Seriously... I read on this forum all day about people who say they vape in the grocery store and how vaping is their right, and now some of us are telling a guy that if he is not vaping nic he should not vape... come on. It is HIS right.

Dude... almost every supplier I have seen offers all of their juices in 0 nic. If they don't list it call and ask, I'm sure they will help you out.

My son replace his hookah smoking with vaping he uses 0 nicotine.
