Mine did, and I was wondering how common that is in America these days. He especially likes that you can taper down nicotine strength eventually and thus reduce dependency. He explained to me the dilemma of nicotine addiction very well. In layman's terms (and I am a layman), when you smoke it causes a spike in nicotine that makes you feel relaxed, as if everything is ok. He said that if that was all it did, nicotine would be a pretty good drug. However, the nervous system maintains homeostasis (balance) by releasing adrenaline, and, as the nicotine levels subside, they subside faster than the adrenaline subsides. The excess adrenaline makes you feel anxious, fight-or-flight sort of responses. He told me that, in his view, the way indigenous people used tobacco in America was much healthier, used ceremonially and only occasionally - not in the form of an easy-to-inhale, quick fix of nicotine from a cigarette that is repeated throughout the day.
I'm interested to here what other people's doctors say about e cigarettes, nicotine dependence, etc. My current doctor is actually the second doctor that suggested vaping to me, and his suggestion has been a big motivator to me to pursue vape and ignore a lot of the negative propaganda in the news. It really helps to have your doctor on board with this.
