my physical i had today proved quite interesting

[jdm1982]

so, im an industrial electrical apprentice that just got hired on to a major project here in NL.

part of getting the job was I needed to do a bunch of physical tests as well as drugs and alcohol testing.

anyway, i had to do a series of exercises while hooked up to a heart rate monitor and my oxygen saturation levels were checked after each exercise.

now, as a smoker (former now) of a pack of 25s daily for some 17 years, whenever my saturation levels were checked, they were always 97-96 percent oxygen saturation.

ive been off the smokes over a year now and been vaping instead.i vape pretty heavily, just as i smoked cigarettes heavily before quitting. my oxygen was tested 4 times today post exercises, and my saturation level was expected to drop abit each exercise.it didn't. i had 100 percent saturation at the start, and at the end.

granted, this year i also lost 35 lbs and do moderate exercise pretty much daily the past 6 months.

regardless, the point of all this, even as a young teen ,(i started smoking young) , ive never had better then 98 percent.im 33 now, and its 100 percent?

vaping is as bad or worse then smoking. lol. i beg to differ.

Nice!

 

[jdm1982]

thanks my dear!

to me, this pretty much confirms what i already thought. if vaping is harmful, it hasn't done much to me.im going through a 30 ml bottle and sometimes into number 2 in a week for well over a year now.

anecdotal, but take from this what you will.

That's fantastic news, congratulations! I love to hear all the stories of people's improved health since making the switch.

 

[jdm1982]

thanks man. its pretty cool to see something more concrete to me that its clearly not as harmful as the smokes were to my health.lord knows everytime theres an anti-vaping thing on facebook, i get it sent to me atleast 8 times lol.

SEE! i knew that stuff was just as bad as smoking!!

sigh. fraid' not, pals.

 

[WillieB69]

Love reading stuff like this. There are so many negative and misinformed articles out there about vaping and this just reaffirms we all made the right choice!

 

[Bunnykiller]

but vaping is bad for you.... it over saturates your blood with oxygen

 

[edyle]

My bet is all those years of smoking trained your body to work harder to grab that oxygen, and now that your lungs are clean, it's like .......wow! ..... smells nice in here!

I just love to hear stories like this! Congrats! My doctor has told me my lungs haven't been this good since I was 13-14 (when I started smoking)!

 

[tjeco]

Congrats man!!!

 

[Nightly_Paradox]

Good for you bud. Vaping is better on the health then the analogs ever would be!

 

[WillyZee]

more bad news for the ANTZ ... well done jdm

 

[kenbu]

I just realized that my new smart phone has the ability to test oxygen saturation levels and I've found that vaping does not appear to have any impact my O2 levels.

That is good news for you! And for us Vapers.

I was a smoker when I started seeing a general MD, who I see at least every three months. I've been paying attention to my 'vitals results' and O2 sat levels were in the mid/high 90's. Actually, it has been either 96 or 97. They are still the same, maybe because I'm not into my first vaping year yet? But in 65 minutes it'll be 5 days until that mark!

Well congrats in 60 minutes.

Well congrats in 60 minutes.

Pre-Thanks, bud.

i think it is realiable for people to confirm the safety of the vaping by tests rather than their thought.

 

[Matty316]

congrats mate.
I recently started working in an aerosol factory making things like WD40 and as part of my phisical I had to have a lung function test. I was really suprised with my results. After being a heavy roll your own smoker for 16 years I quit 2 years ago. After my lung test I was told I had the lung function of a 22 year old. Pretty good I thought because I'm a 32 year old ex smoker.
