Hi all - taking me long enough to find out how to post lol. I'm quite a heavy smoker and have been for 30+ years unfortunately. Lots of friends are now using ecigs and I desperately want to give up my roll-ups BUT:
Have pretty bad anxiety disorder which makes me worry about most things and now ecigs are my new worry! I have high blood pressure and been on meds for quite a few years which bring it to a reasonable level - have read (whilst extensively - too extensively I think - researching all the worrying bits and bobs about ecigs) that people have been known to have big increase in blood pressure when using ecigs. I assume from what I've read that these people are using high levels of nicotine and I only intend to use low or zero cartridges to begin with, so should I be okay? Also read that some people on meds have reduced blood pressure which would be okay as long as it doesn't go too low
Have had a puff on a friend's ecig once or twice which resulted in me feeling jittery - now can't decide if it's the panic which I'm so good at which has caused this or the blood pressure or the ecig itself. I'm annoying myself reading this back so I'm sorry to have to annoy whoever is kind enough to read this but it's so aggravating to know that I'm so scared of smoking now but more scared of the unknown
I have purchased Halo ecigarettes with cartridges btw - are these good as a first step coz I really don't fancy messing with juices and other paraphernalia really.
Thank you and sorry for being a wus
