Morning all! (Or evening to most of you, I suppose.)
Vaped in the Cardiologist's consulting room yesterday, with his permission, of course!
He had vaguely heard of the e-cig, but that was all. He knew virtually nothing about them.
He knows a lot more now!
I did the demo using an Ego-T with a type B tank and long battery. His first question, after I showed him the basics was "can you "dial down" the nicotine levels?" He was very pleased when I told him you could, by using lower strength liquids. (Would a VV mod at lower voltage deliver less nicotine from the same liquid than at a higher voltage, do you think? It feels like it's lower, but is it?)
As is probably the case with any Cardio, he said he has many patients who desperately need to quit but can't/won't and he thinks that e-cigs could well be useful for them. (We all know that, of course, but he didn't.) He's currently advocating Chantix, but while the results (he says) are better than any other quit methodology he has recommended he's still seeing more failures than successes.
He's going to do some research himself to learn more, and I'm sending him some links I found useful. He's a Professor at the Local Medical School, so he'd be a good person to get on our side. Darn nice chap too. Laughed like a drain at the clouds of vapour!
Cheers
ETA: I was visiting the Cardio with my Mother-in-law, not for myself. She has limited English (she's Hungarian) and is a bit dotty so I tend to accompany her on dr's visits and so on.)
