I'm speaking on behalf of another person in my family I'm helping out with all of these. She's been smoking for about 2 years. Just started vaping (disposable e-cigarettes) last week! I bought them for her and explained she's only addicted to the nicotine not the cigarettes.

So far the switch has been good!

noble to speak on someone else's behalf. better she comes on here and educates and speaks for herself. from what you said, i can tell you don't smoke. 3 addictions in play here. addiction 1- tobacco, and the chemicals related to the combustion and ingestion of said same. addiction 2- nicotine. short version- eliminate addiction 1, and addiction 2 is a joke. addiction 3- hand to mouth/ oral fixation, no physiological effects, but a huge player in this process. vaping helps with addictions 2 and 3, until your family member can detox from the effects of burning tobacco. no magic pill. but ecigs seem to provide the best vehicle for smoking cessation. (my opinion, no study's to prove what i say, other than what the banner below states. tell your family member to join and get involved. and thank you for helping someone else with a crippling addiction.

P.S. 3 PAD 41 yr smoker, started at 9yrs

Smoked PAD for 8 years. I have been vaping since 5/1/13 and haven't looked back since.

This website has been a big part of making the transition much easier.

Smoked for about 11 years, leading up to a PAD for the last 6 or so. Sometimes more.

 

[bfitz]

30 and smoked for 15 years about a PAD.

Dumbest reason ever to start smoking. I got my first job at 15 and noticed that the smokers got to take more breaks. If only I wasn't an idiot at 15 haha.

Just joined the site. I own 3 businesses in Delaware (Wilmington, New Castle and Claymont). I sold tons of hookahs, hookah tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, etc...then i was at a trade show in vegas and tried a hookah stick (e-hookah, whatever you want to call it)...WOW. I love the smoothness of the vapor, the flavor and the easiness to inhale without ever getting harsh. I was hooked and was certain my customers would be to. I distribute for an e-hookah company for the state through my wholesale and retail locations and have had great success in doing so. I sell the e-hookah sticks easily because I love the product. I then went to another show in Atlantic City (Champs) and tried the tank system and loved that even more. I noticed Delaware has shops that sell the usual (Blu, Eon, Imperial, Premier Hookah, etc.) but no one had any presence for tanks and vapor flavor. I bought it into all of my locations to give people in Delaware a place to go and be educated with this new item and the benefits it has. I am constantly educating people every day about this and the response has been great. I'm positive that this is the "future" of smoking and I'm glad to be a user and supporter of it!
