Dr. Seigel Article - Chantix v. e-Cig

Earlier than what? I could not understand why my father, a non-smoker, died at 64. In fact I don't understand the death of my non-smoking grandmother at 55, my non-smoking friend at 32, and the "early" deaths of virtually everyone I have known and lost...all non-smokers. If smoking guaranteed that I would not live to have Alzheimers as my mother-in-law now has, I would keep smoking rather than vape. As for diminished life, my mom and my mother-in-law are both living that...and they are both lifetime non-smokers.

Smoking is not the only bad thing out there. And a lot depends on predisposition too. Some of the oldest lived have smoked. But in general, it's a dangerous habit, which is why we are vaping instead.

Sherid, I have seen reports where nicotine may be beneficial toward warding off alzheimers in its early stages. If you are still vaping nic, you are certainly better off than smoking tobacco. At least in my view.
