I have to agree with VChick.
While many of us reformed tobacco users do enjoy
vaping, most of us here would rather have never put ourselves in the position where vaping is actually beneficial.
For a non-tobacco user, picking up an electronic cigarette is just plain stupid. It's not my intent to insult, but to get you to rethink your decision.
While vaping is
most likely far less dangerous than smoking, I don't think anyone would claim that it is "healthy". We're all taking a gamble here, no one here knows the long term health effects of vaping, and it will likely be decades until we do know. There are a lot of variables in play, including hundreds of chemicals used in the flavoring additives. Do you really want to join us? We're the subjects of a new experiment- if vaping is some day proven to cause health problems, we're the ones who are taking that gamble, and we'll be the ones who end up sick.
While you probably know that smokers who quit to vape do notice improvements in their health, you should also realize that vapers who quit notice additional improvements.
Quitting tobacco is just plain hard, second only to
......! Why would you voluntarily choose to get yourself hooked on one of the most addictive drugs available? You may not be addicted yet, but (and trust me on this) it's just a matter of time now. Once you're addicted, you'll find yourself trapped and pray to corporations more than happy to take your money to give you your fix. No need to go down that road.
People were meant to breathe air. Your lungs have not evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to inhale propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, nicotine and chocolate (or whatever) flavoring.
You're doing a great disservice to those of us who've tried countless times to free ourselves of the trap of addiction through the use of nicotine replacement therapies, psychological therapies and pharmaceutical products. Many of has have settled on vaping because we weren't able to quit any other way, but make no mistake, most of us are still trapped- but we've found solace in a product that is
most likely far less dangerous to us than smoking. By advocating the use of these products to people who don't use tobacco, you're inadvertently drawing the attention of big government regulators who (as you seem to know) are looking for any excuse to heavily control or destroy the e-cigarette industry.
You've chosen to put yourself in harms way, and you're video effectively advocates the use of dangerous chemicals by kids. I implore - I
beg you to reconsider your decision and to remove your video.
