My primary care doctor and my cardiologist both condone vaping. My PCP asked all kinds of questions and even took a few notes on gear. Maybe she has someone in mind? My heart doctor says the nicotine isn't even bad for me as it's a blood thinner and I take Plavix already so it just helps.
That reminds me of once when I had to go in for a physical for a new job I was starting. I passed with flying colors, and the nurse said I was the fittest 39 year old she'd ever seen, and my blood pressure was (as usual) one point above dead. LOL! I usually run somewhere in the neighborhood of 100/70, give or take, and maybe it will shoot up to 110/75 if I get stressed really bad. Anyway, the question of smoking came up. I couldn't lie, I mean, a non-smoker can SMELL it on you, so I said yes. She said, "You should quit, you know. It raises your blood pressure and causes all sorts of problems." Then she realized what she'd just said, looked around to see if anyone was within earshot, and said, "Um, never mind. If you quit, you'd probably fall over dead, so keep smoking." I almost busted a gut laughing and she got a bad case of the giggles.
So I'm actually GLAD I'm still getting my nicotine, because now at 57, my blood pressure is still 100/70. I don't know what effect going off nicotine completely might have, but I'm afraid to try! LOL!
