I am still smoking cigarettes, about 5-7 a day. I haven't been smoking cigs that long, just a few months, varying amounts. I'm trying to quit but not sure I'm motivated enough. I think I'm smoking for reasons other than the nicotine per se, as I also have used other kinds of tobacco in the past year, some of which have more nicotine (nasal snuff). Maybe its getting out of the apartment and escaping the worries in my head, since there is no smoking allowed inside. It's hard to quit for me, I'm so attached to the smoke break ritual and stinking like an ashtray.
I may have very mild asthma, it actually started before I went back to cigarettes (after many years being a non-smoker, the e-cigs were just my attempt to stave off relapse). The doc gave me a peak flow meter and some Albuterol in case I needed it. Those times I do feel my breathing a little shallow or my peak flow is down, I use a salt pipe until it passes. I have allergies to dust mites, mold, and that's about it.
Yesterday I vaped more than usual, really trying to push myself to spend more time vaping (and less smoking), vaping some "Minty Marlboro" I got at a local vape store. I was using a KR808 sealed battery and Kanger horizontal cartomizer. I first noticed the throat hit was very strong, then I started feeling pins and needles in my lungs and my throat felt a little sore. I felt chesty all night after that, even though I went and blew on my peak flow meter and it was OK (430, doc says anything over 420 is fine). This morning my lungs and chest just feel like garbage.
I sometimes smoke menthol analogs and never had any problems with asthmatic symptoms or chestiness, so this seems very new. Does this go away ,or is it something to be concerned about?
