I was going to write the typical snugglenets intro post about my new found love for the e-cig.
However, a friend of mine was recently diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and told that she had to quit smoking, as it is exacerbated by it. Since nicotine and smoking are pretty much synonymous in these discussions, it's hard to tell if it's the nicotine use, the smoke, or the chemicals in cigarettes that cause the problem.
Anyone here have RA and still vape? Symptoms better, worse, unchanged?
I understand that long term use has not been studied and that it's best for her to go on her doctor's advice. I'm looking for anecdotal stories for her if she does think about succumbing to the siren call of nicotine.
Thanks, and "hi".
