There is no doubt that most people get sick far less often after switching from smoking to vaping.
From my personal experience, I would have to disagree and say that there
is doubt. In fact, last winter (after almost 4 years of vaping) I got one of THE WORST sinus infections I've ever had. But... to answer this:
The only question is why.
Dont take this as gospel. Its been a very long time since I've read the information, so Im going purely on vague memory. But, I think there was a study done where PG was released into a small room that contained cold and flu virus particles. The PG killed them. So, the thought was, if we vape, and are inhaling the PG into our lungs, we are in effect, creating a hostile environment for those virus's, or flat out killing them if we have them.
Obviously, not smoking anymore plays a part.
Correct. Smoking supresses the immune system.
But after years of reading this forum I have no doubt that vaping actually helps prevent colds and flus, and maybe even other things.
I wish I could agree with you. Unfortunatly, Im sure I'll be hit once again this year...
As for me, I've only been sick once since I started vaping four years ago.
And it lasted less than two days, as opposed to one week.
Could be vaping. Could be you simply havent been exposed to much of anything. Either way, I wish you continued good health.
