I love your posts. You are a very analytical person and so am I ...........I love conversing with people who have two brain cells and make use of at least one of them lol .... You make use of them and hence I tend to pay attention more and learn more from people like that.
Yes, it does explain some of our previous convos but don't get me wrong because I am not stating about having guilt because I think vaping is harmful.......... I really don't know why I have guilt but I do know it is not because I think vaping is some horrid and awful thing. After all, vaping may have saved my life and so in no way would I be hating on vaping.
Sure, I don't know what all the risks are (if any) but since it feels exactly like smoking to me then maybe that is what is responsible for my weird feelings. Who knows, I am just plain weird anyway
In our previous convos I was not disagreeing or not disbelieving anything that you mentioned........ You provided me with the links to the data and I finally went and researched them in order to see why you thought as you did. I am the type of person that needs data and not assumptions. Like I told you before I can handle the idea that other things are in tobacco that are responsible for "enhancing" addiction......... But, I personally feel (without facts) that those other substances (possibly alkaloids) are not the only things responsible. If I was to take all nicotine out of my vape, you would see me climb the walls in very short order. I know because I have tried it..... Now, people can debate all day long about WHY that happens to me but I only know that if nicotine is in my vape, then I can feel it do it's magic and my cravings go away......... If it's mental, then I suppose I don't know myself as well as I thought I did. On the other hand, it may be something directly related to nicotine........ And, it could also be related to whatever the nasty alkaloids and other compounds did to me when I used to smoke.
