My standard answer from now on to any Doc that spouts that nonsense in my direction is "The Royal College of Physicians disagrees with your opinion." They haven't had a comeback to that yet.

Not sure what donations you're referring to. Most medical research journals do not have any advertising or support from pharmaceutical companies, and work is published after a peer review process. Clinical journals also have very strict rules separating any paid advertising from editorial work.
You will probably find that physicians at teaching institutions are more amenable to remaining up to date and open to new treatments and approaches, as they typically do have teaching responsibilities, and the institutions are more demanding of staying current, especially within your own field.

I just don't get how some can think, that vaping can be anywhere nearly as dangerous as cigarettes.
I don't get this and I'm not singling you out because I see it all the time. Why would you or anyone else volunteer this information? It's like someone asking if you've ever been convicted of a felony. You say " no, but I love shooting people in the face in Grand Theft Auto". The correct answer is always just "no".
There is no discussion to be had. "You don't know what you're talking about" is the perfect response. It's appropriately dismissive yet interest piquing at the same time.
I agree with you, ruet. When asked if I smoke, I say no. Because I don't. I don't volunteer any other information. If I was asked if I use nicotine, I would say yes. But I've never been asked that question. That being said, if I was having some sort of serious health issue, I would let the doc know I used nicotine, if I thought it might be important or relevant.
Just me, but when feeling bad enough to seek medical help, I prefer my doctor know everything about what I put into my body and let him determine whether it is important or relevant. But that's just me.
People have always associated nicotine with smoking, and in their eyes, it's the same, so they blame the nicotine for everything. I had heard that nicotine hinders wound and bone healing, but it seems maybe some people are finally getting a clue. (I hope this link works; I don't do this enough to know what I'm doing. lol)

I smoked my last cigarette 6 1/2 years ago. Vaping allowed me to finally quit and never look back.
I told my doctor about my vaping and after asking me questions I pulled out my eGo and asked him if he'd like a demonstration. He said yes and I took a big hit and blew it to the middle of the room. I asked him if he smelled smoke and he replied that he didn't.
He was impressed when he found out that I went from 2 packs a day down to 6 cigs a day the first week and later just decided that I'd finish my pack and not buy any more. I never even had a craving, not even when people were smoking around me. I'd just vape and not care about it at all,
The next time I went into his office he had a display with phamplets on ecigs in his waiting room. He still asks me if I'm still not smoking. When I say no, he asks if I'm still vaping. When I tell him yes, he says, "Good!". And then, we go onto to other topics.
