in all seriousness, I smoked 2 packs a day for over 25 years. I think I'm doing quite well with vaping. I haven't smoked in a Year and a half and I've actually cut way back on my nicotine. it amazes me why people are so combative against vaping. in cigarettes there are many many chemicals that are HIGHLY toxic. it's NOT just tobacco as we all know. in vaping there are ONLY FOUR ingredients. pg, vg, nicotine, and flavor (sometimes sweetner) I also like to make my own juice. at any rate, I breathe better now, my oxygen saturation went from 94 to 100% now. I no longer wheeze. I no longer need a inhaler or my theophylline (breathing medication). so I think I'm doing pretty darn good. so, no not at this time do I want to quit vaping and I don't think that's anything to be made ashamed of! also I refuse to feel quilts or negative or like a second class citizen like I was made to feel when smoking.this whole thing with the government and vaping is about MONEY. if the really gave a care they wouldn't have all these Alcohol commercials playing for young kids to see how "fun" it is to drink and "Party" They know Alcohol KILLS. it killed my own father. so it's really only about money and big business. they don't give a squat about our health. That said, I will quit vaping when I'm ready, IF I ever am. I don't know why people thinks the government actually cares about our health. it's all about who will line their pockets with FAT CASH. the cigarette companies are scared of loosing revenue to vaping so yes they fund MANY anti vaping campaigns themselves. sad but true. it's about BIG $$$$. Not our health and welfare.
I used to... total waste of money... in my younger years I wasted alot of money in "adult" bars but I did enjoy what I saw...
Blu didnt even offer enjoyment
odd... people get so upset about testing on rats, mice.... but there are millions of rat and mice traps being sold in the US...
no testing, just crush their little skulls with a metal bar .....

From a purely personal perspective, one of my relapses was after 10 years. I would keep vaping at the ready to avoid another relapse. A girl at work started vaping and quit smoking, then bragged that she quit vaping too. A week later she was smoking again. Another coworker, the one that started me vaping, said he planned to quit vaping. I argued that if we keep on it might encourage the other smokers in the shop. We need to normalize vaping to help them. If tobacco was unobtainable I'd try to quit vaping. If government cares about the kids then enforce the existing laws banning possession. They don't care about the kids of course, they are lying hypocrits.
There is a political dimension that keeps me vaping. The FDA oversees the creation of worthless drugs that are bankrupting our civilization and at the same time they are trying everything they can think of to discourage vaping which costs literally nothing and will do more good than all their pharma crap put together. To paraphrase Gil Scott Heron, "there will be no reruns brotha', the revolution, will be live."
An interesting animal experiment would be to get a monkey addicted to cigaretts then give him only the option of vaping and see if he accepts that. May be we could teach him to do DIY and rebuilding. I don't think we'd learn much but a vaping monkey would be funny as hell.

1.5-2 packs of Newports a day for 22 years = 84% oxygen level and a 55%lung capacity and a tube in your nose with oxygen pumped in 24 hrs a day, when you quit and have stayed off them for a month and a half levels increase and breathing treatments decrease oxygen in blood goes up lung function increases. My doctor is pleased with my decision to stop smoking and start vaping, it saved my life literally. I have decreased my nicotine level from 32mg down to 3-6mg. Now for the answer no I don't see myself quitting anytime soon like others I enjoy it, and I don't want a relapse to analogs.

Must be the waste of good vapor on horrible critters like chimps and horses.
For those that busted my chops for "being aggressive" you simply need to read the rest of the OPs posts...
Another touchy-feeley do-gooder who thinks they and the government should have a say in what we do and how we do it.
I'll put it in Brit-Speak for you so you completely understand my meaning...Sod off.

I think you should be commended actually. Its clear that she was/is a UC plant from the types of leading questions she asks. No matter how you answer it will be used to portray vapers in a negative light.
Either that or shes a nut job with her own agenda that involves spreading misinformation and outright lies on the forum....such as her statement about 0 percent juices still containing nicotine etc.
Damned if you do, damned if you dont.
I figured it was a ploy as soon as I saw FDA UK doesnt work that way.... now if it was FDA USA then I might have given it some thought.... else wise, rig up the mouse traps
I use to smoke chronically and had no plans of quitting I truly enjoyed it. Then I saw vaping and tried it and liked it even more than smoking so I started doing that instead.
It's like an upgrade for me. It's cheaper and more satisfying. It's like you're not really quitting, just doing a better version of it.
I will more than likely never quit vaping. Don't think I would have ever quit smoking either (if I hadn't found vaping)

Seriously though, what are you gathering responses for? It's obvious from your questions that you think you're sneakily collecting data.
If you want data, why not just create a survey and post here asking us to take it? If you were just honest and polite, I'm sure some of us would not mind taking it.
But this Jane Goodall approach is deceptive and, as you see, pretty ineffective.

Until battery technology improves significantly the mice are safe, their paws are too small. And where would they keep it? They have no pockets and a lanyard would look ridiculous.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!
No interest in quitting vaping -- why would I ever want to do that? I was perfectly content to smoke until it killed me, till I discovered how easily vaping could substitute for smoking.
Animals??? Why ever would they test it on animals? People are the only ones that vape, and we're doing our own testing just fine, without need of animals or even any stupid-to-the-bone gov't.
Frankly I wish the FDA was as intelligent as the PHE, but they're DETERMINED to be as criminally insane as they can get away with. I have 5 yrs of nicotine in my freezer and a whole lot of wick, wire, and batteries -- and *I* make better ejuice than any pre-made I've ever bought -- so they can kiss my derriere. I'll be vaping till *I* decide to quit, which is probably right around the time I fall down dead.

Nicotine is NOT carcinogenic. It is a mild stimulant and vasoconstrictor, similar to caffeine.

Especially that TOTALLY WRONG! idea about nicotine causing cancer -- it does NOT! CIGARETTES *may lead* to cancer, but it's all that other crap in the smoke that's doing it, NOT the nicotine!!!
