Did your doctor approve of your vaping?

Currently being evaluated for possible sleep apnea, which apparently necessitated a trip to a pulmonologist. When I told him I had quit smoking and switched to vaping, he said "so, you did not quit smoking then." I stared at him for a beat and informed him that since I no longer inhale combusted plant material, I am no longer taking in tar and therefore would like him to explain why using say, an Albuterol inhaler would not also be considered smoking using his logic if his only criteria is administration via inhalation. Same damn difference. Twit.

8 Months ago I saw the Doc.....I had lost some weight and still smoked...he tried to give a scipt of Chantrix and told him no.

3-weeks ago went in for a wellness checkup and had quit smoking over 7-months ago and the nurse weighed me and had lost 6 pounds. He asked how I was doing...told him I quit smoking, and was vaping....he never looked up from taking notes, never acknoldged my weight loss or had anything to say....all he could say was does anyone in your house still smoke, said yes but only in their room...said to tell them (I) said to not smoke in the house........damn not even a good job I don't agree with vaping or squat...

I was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and the oncologist had no problem with e cigs even though I am looking at surgery and more maybe.

That's a bummer - best of luck dealing with that.

My Doc had actualy tried using an E-cig stated the metalic taste was not for him (probably a cheap conv store disposable) but fully supported the use of them. I started vaping 2weeks after that appt and cant wait to go back and see the results and talk to him more about them for other patience benefit.

I voted yes, although my doctor has never said whether she approves or disapproves. She is just happy that I'm not smoking anymore, and has listed me as an ex smoker.

seems overwhelming how many approve now if they could just convince the Gov !!!
