Kreel:
True to form in so many of your posts on this forum …. You are caustic, negative, not helpful and tend to jump to a response without much thought as to the reason for a question.
If you think the question is silly, why do you waste time responding to it ??
Get another hobby and quit putting people down for asking honest questions and realize that NO ONE will hold it against you if you just keep quiet when you don’t have anything positive to contribute.
And yes, I am well aware there are many links to every subject/question on this forum. But with such a specific request for information, I simply do not have the time to sort through all the links.
Now … relieved of steam … let me clarify the reason for this question.
I am IN NO WAY concerned about the “safety” of ecigs vs. analogs.
I am interested in the science of the effect of nicotine in the body and the addiction/habit of smoking.
Why ?? Because, I hope to use the ecigs to eventually quit smoking by slowly scaling back on vaping or nicotine content.
Cigarette smoking if FULL of variables ranging from the brand smoked, brand nicotine content, the smokers style of smoking/inhaling, the “hand-to-mouth” habit satisfaction, etc.
All of these factors figure into nicotine levels in the body and the “comfort” of the “smoker or quitter.”
Among the many things I’m curious to know is:
1) Are the ecigs I’m using giving me the same nicotine levels as the analogs I smoked, even though I seem to inhale differently and get different levels of “vape” with each draw?
2) Since vaping is so much more convenient that smoking, am I “over smoking” and getting more nicotine than I did with analogs?
These questions could be easily answered if you could measure actual nicotine levels.
Additionally, as vaping is a “new science,” many prospective vapers, curious smokers and disgusted non-smokers, etc., will have questions about how similar vs. dissimilar the “nicotine habit” is. It would be nice to have some “hard-core, scientific information” regarding my own personal experience with both.
And FYI, Keel, I do not work for the FDA but I do have a research nursing background.
