I started vaping to get off of snus. If you do not know what snusing is it is basically like chewing. I also was what I will call a casual smoker. I smoked about three rolled cigarettes a day. Then I learned about snus and bought some to try. I gradually got up to using two cans a week and constantly had a snus in my mouth. I traded smoking for what my doctor called a worse use of tobacco. He said he would rather deal with my lungs than cut my face up when I got mouth cancer. I snused all the time because nobody could tell and I could use anywhere. I am almost totally off snus now. I snus a little at work where I cannot vape but have cut use down to a can every two weeks. I do not smoke analogs anymore and do not like the smell and it really irritates my eyes. I do not know anyone else that vapes. My friends still smoke. Anyone else start vaping for reasons other than to stop smoking? It is great to be here. I don't feel like such an oddball with my fellow vapers here.
