I did not start vaping as harm reduction I started because it was cheaper and I enjoyed it more. So yes I would keep vaping.
Makes sense however, I thought about that, and then realized it was the SMELL that also made me want to quit smoking.
I remember when I smoked in the house (which I stopped doing years ago way before vaping) but lampshades and even some of my books were yellowed, and my clothing always smelled like smoke.
Just for THAT if both were equally bad, I would still choose vaping.![]()
I would not go back to smoking, but if they ever found vaping was near as bad, I wouldn't vape either.
I vape for harm reduction.
At any rate, I can't see how anything could be as bad for the total body as smoking. I know there are people who don't believe that, and that's fine. It's just that I feel differntly, I truly believe smoking negatively affects so many aspects of one's body in so many ways.
I would stick with vaping and occasionally treat myself with my old fav cigarette, A Marlboro Smooth.
I agree.It's a shame this technology was not available 20-40 years ago, so many people died prematurely.
I remember saying to myself a million times, "This is the last pack I'm buying"....40 years later I found vaping and was able to stop smoking that day.
Just the smell of smoke nauseates me now. The smell of a dirty ashtray lingers in my mind, god-awful repulsive odor.
I have been vaping for close to a year now and have enjoyed vaping a lot more than smoking cigarettes, but hypothetically if it turned out that vaping was as bad as smoking (Not that I think that will happen) would you still vape or go back to smoking cigarettes?
What I am basically trying to say is would you rather vape or smoke cigarettes if they were both as bad as each other?
I've noticed the longer I vape, the less I vape. Been off the smokes for a little more than a year. Definitely would never smoke again. I'll probably quit vaping in the next twelve months. Started with 24 mg, now I'm at 3-6 mg. Vaping just doesn't interest me as much as it did when I began, I can go eight hours without even thinking of taking a hit off the squonker. I do hope to help as many folks as possible quit smoking before I'm pushing daisies.
