#1 I started vaping around November of last year (still relatively new)
#2 At the time I started vaping, I loved smoking with a drink(s), during work/after a long day, before going to bed... etc. I had no intention of quitting. An old friend talked me into vaping and although it was tough starting out (high initial costs, lower throat hits/overall feeling) I decided to stick with it and it eventually paid itself off. Now I'm happily vaping and although I currently only smoke socially, I always choose my vape over cigarettes when I'm alone (and I'm better off for it).
TL;DR - It helps to quit smoking with a friend, do your research, find what you like, and you won't regret it!
