Do you feel better e-smoking/vaping than smoking POLL.

[diverdown]

I want to start a poll to find out how people are feeling physically sinse you started e-smoking/vaping. I think this poll should be refreshed from time to time as peoples experiences may change over time. If you would like to leave any details about how you're feeling, better or worse, feel free.

vaping is definetly the way to go. When I wake up in the mornings I feel refreshed and ready to go. I don't have any nasty mucus to spit up and I can breathe easy.

I have smoked a regular cigarette since and the first drag just made me feel sick to my stomach. Nuff said.

Well, I did vote "minor health effects" but those were skin problems coming from stopping to smoke, not starting to vape as such. Since in the other hand I'd never had stopped smoking, I chose that option. Apart from that, I feel much better, and overall I feel much better and would do it again anytime.

Been vaping for over 6 months and it's nice to not have stained teeth, a stinky car and house and cloths.

I can also climb multiple flights of stairs without being out of breath.

I am glad I am not putting all of those poisons in my body any more or having to go outside to smoke in restaurants, friends houses, cars etc.

I've had mild health effects from quitting. After going cold turkey, I got depression for 2 or 3 days, and I don't otherwise ever suffer from depression as a norm. After than, I got insomnia pretty badly for about a month. Also, when my body started detoxing, I got acne, and that went on for quite a while. I've never coughed up tar though like other ppl have reported doing. I guess we all detox differently. It just takes hanging in there with patience. If I would have know I would have these side effects from quitting smoking before I began, I would still gladly go through it based on how much more energy I have now and how much better I feel about myself. I'm really thrilled that vaping has worked out so well for me.

I'm not voting here because the poll seems negatively slanted, IMO. I'm kind of hesitant to vote on anything I think has a slant.

I smoke maybe a pack a week, usually in a single "session". I might be going out with friends and wanna share a smoke with them. Analogs seem to manage stress better for me than vaping and sometimes when I am really stressed, I'll smoke instead.

I usually buy a pack and smoke them until they're done and then resume vaping.

I have positive benefits from vaping. My chest feels tight when I smoke and I'm only able to inhale so much (say, 60% capacity) before I start feeling chest pain. I wake up with headaches after smoking and my sinuses feel packed with mostly-dried cement.

I would, if it were on the polls, say that I have gains in health quality from vaping. The best I saw on the poll was "no negative" which might be accurate, but doesn't convey what I really feel.

I've been vaping for 19 months now and the only side effects I've had is having more energy.....
