I know this has been discussed a lot, but I'll still answer.
I rolled my own cigarettes and smoked equivalent to a pack a day. At the same time I've dipped 2-3 cans of Copenhagen since I was in High School. I started vaping to stop all of that. I feel much better health wise, my gums don't burn anymore. All of my new jeans aren't ruined with can rings worn in my jeans.I was more of a dipper as said before, so I can't quite compare the analog vs vaping question.

I smoked and dipped as well. I would start my day off hacking and coughing. My breathe was horrible. Always had tobacco in my teeth. My clothes smelled like an ash tray. Whenever I caught a cold I got terribly congested. I would get bronchitous.
I breathe easy now. Dropped a couple prescriptions. Have been living happily ever after. Oh, and my family doesn't ..... and carry on about me vaping.
Why can't I use the word ..... in verb form? Complain doesn't have the same meaning in this context.

I started smoking at 16 and am now 27. I've made serious quit attempts at least five times in just as many years. The last couple of attempts involved cigalikes that held me over for the first couple of days, but within a week I was back to burning tobacco.
I have a few buddies that vape, and one of them talked my best friend into giving proper vaping a try. Set him up with a mod and some juice, and I went with them to pick up a tank and batteries. That's when I got an eGo style pen. But I still felt a need to smoke in the morning or after a few drinks. After vaping with my friends' mods, and especially after dripping for the first few times, I was sold. I got a crash course from a 4-year experienced caper on building coils and battery safety (I knew enough about ohm's law and the calculations needed to safely operate a mech mod beforehand, making it easier) and used my RDA when I needed that extra boost to keep from firing up a cig.
I've been off the tobacco for a couple of weeks now-the longest I've been without a cigarette in eleven years, and I love that fact.
Bottom line: I started vaping because I was tired of smelling like smoke and feeling like crap every morning. I still get nic cravings, but I don't ever get the "gotta have it RIGHT NOW or somebody is getting hurt" feeling about a vape like I did with cigarettes. Not to mention the fact that there's much less of a social stigma on vaping, especially after a bit of explaining.

I remember ever since I was a kid til high school, I was straight up anti-drinking/smoking/drugs. Literally, I would outright decline any offers and walk away. It wasn't until I met my ex and broke up where my 'morals' if you will, just shattered. I was dealing with major depression, suicidal idealization, anxiety attacks, etc. I first turned to cigarettes because of its bitter taste and aftertaste where I could take my mind off what happened in the past. At that point I was open to try anything that was offered to me, thus my friend who got into ecigs let me try his Blu ec-cig and ego setup. After that I decided to go out and buy my own set up when mech mods became popular.
Granted smoking in general doesn't have any alleviating effects on depression, but in a way, it takes the edge off. Later on, due to my being curious, I tried vaping 3mg and have been hooked since.
Humans naturally enjoying doing/eating something that tastes/feels good, and since there's so many delicious flavors out there in the market right now, there's pretty much no reason to stop, compared to the bitter tasting analogues and a variety of health complications that go along with it.

I was a smokeless tobacco and clove, regular and cigar smoker. I have been vaping for the last year and a half or two years. I no longer have the raw gums or rough lungs. I also no longer smell like an ashtray.
