Any non-smokers vaping?

[jbrownjr]

Hi,

I am a non-smoker (other than the rare hookah session), but am interested in e-cigs. Not sure why but these seem like a pretty cool idea, and is even better since you have the option of having non-nicotine cartridges.

Anyways, I am thinking about buying, but not sure if the negatives/side effects outweigh the benefits, especially since I am not a current smoker. Anyone have any perspective on this, or would they use an e-cig if they did not smoke analogs?

Thanks!

My fiance is, for all intents and purposes, a "non-smoker". She will occasionally have a clove or two, but doesn't smoke habitually at all (other than she'll typically have one when we go to a concert). She is very intrigued by the e-cig. I think she's coming from a place where she enjoys the smoking experience, but not the crap that's in it.

That said...

I'm terrified by the idea of non-smokers picking up the e-cig. There is currently some trouble with the FDA, and one of their qualifications for approval of a reduced risk nicotine product is how likely a non-smoker is to pick it up. The fact that 0mg nicotine liquid is available is going to be an interesting area to explore, since it causes the e-cig to not quite fit into any of the predefined categories.

I guess... if you enjoy the smoking experience, but have no interest in nicotine or any of the other 4000 chemicals in cigarettes....

Welcome.

My husband is that guy. He passionately hates cigarettes, but enjoys the very occasional cigar. I got him an e-cigar and some no-nic liquid. He loves it - I don't have to worry about stink in my house now that I've finally gotten rid of it.

Please, if you do choose this path - stay with the no-nic. The addiction is definitely not something you want on your back if you can avoid it.

Hey

You may or not know, but, the FDA is trying to ban the e-cig. One of their beefs with it is that they fear that it may attract non-smokers into smoking. I do not think that you are going to get much support here. IMHO

Can you blame them? I'd be worried also, it's a techy toy with the added option for nicotine addiction. It's a wonderful tool for smokers to ditch tobacco, but to avoid any extremely large conversations on the topic,
I'll just have to say.. unless you're ready to form a habit of sorts, don't pick up an e-cig. You'll either get the habit of "hand to mouth", or start trying nic, either one is bad.

You are a nonsmoker and you "are wondering if the negatives/side effects outweigh the benefits" ?!!

You are either dumber than dirt, or an ASH troll. Either way, my advice is: DON'T TOUCH AN E-CIG AND GO THE F**K AWAY.

To put it more softly, if you are interested in this do a little reading on the forum before you place controversial threads. Especially if you are new to this fairly new concept/alternative to cancer sticks..

So perfectly phrased Still. Thank you!

And to the OP, always follow the beat of your own drum. NEVER EVER do whut others do cuz it may seem cool


'Course ASH Troll did make me snigger...

There would be no benefits for a nonsmoker and they would be a pain in the ... for a toy. They are too susceptible to problems. The reason some of us love them is they have helped us from our life long battle with quitting cigarettes. I would never pay $100's of dollars for an electronic pretend beer that only worked half the time either.

ConSNIGGERIN' that Ash Troll is a newb, lets hope he took a lesson in trollology;-)

Just read, learn & make statements with care!!

DON'T TOUCH AN E-CIG AND GO THE F**K AWAY.

Totally agree with this. If you don't smoke or vape, DON'T START.

Pure and simple.

And yes, go the .... away, FDA troll.

Vape on brother!!! And sister

if you are having to stop and think about it and ask on a forum, doesn't that give you the answer already? stay away!

Very good point and this is coming from a newb that has obviously found something to replace her dependancy to something that had attempted to control her.

Only my guess WG!!

exactly it's not a stop smoking aid per-say but it sure isn't a new cool thing to start out of nowhere!!

thanks everyone for your opinions, but for the people who are screaming DON'T DO IT you still haven't answered the question as to why....

forget about the money that's irrelevant to me what are the reasons against a non-smoker starting a 0 nicotine e-cig?

Because 'smoking' a fake cigarette might possibly get you into the habit of smoking a real cigarette, which might kill you. However, to the planet as a whole, losing an ....... like you could be seen as a win, so who's to judge?

 

[e-pipeman]

Do not run the risk of addiction. If you are currently a non-smoker DO NOT try vaping, even no nic liquid. Why? Because the hand-to-mouth action in itself will be habit-forming. There is nothing cool about a non-smoker vaping - indeed, it could well be seen as complete idiocy.

I see you are only 27 years old... want to blow vapor smoke rings and have a blue LED? Here is my recommendation for you:
New Zero Blaster: Zero Toys Online Store

good god, grow up and grow a brain. If you were my 27 year old, I'd be ashamed I raised you up to be so immature.

Money is irrelevant? Go give your irrelevent money to a homeless shelter. Save the $$ you'll spend on one of these (and other useless show off toys) and go buy a house... If you can't handle that responsibility, go buy a video game and some candy cigarettes so you can pretend to smoke and entertain yourself.

Don't feed the troll, people.
