I can totally understand the concern Shaka,
To help prevent any "antis" from using me as an example for their cause, let me elaborate on my situation:
I was not 100% non smoking previously, I just was not addicted. I smoked analogs in social situations such as parties, or while out drinking and usually pick up a pack before long car rides (30 mins+) to have something to do while driving/sitting in a car. I did not/do not like the taste of cigarettes, or the effect of nicotine. I have an anxiety disorder and having something to occupy my hands prevents me from subconsciously twisting and pulling at my hands and skin or shredding/destroying whatever poor object makes its way into my hands when I get nervous. (politely described as being a "fidgeter" in my original post)
The e-cigs are a HUGE improvement, no health risk or 2nd hand smoke for others, no foul odor, no risk of chemical dependency, no wasted nearly full packs of analog cigs that went stale before I got around to them, and no safety hazard from trying to light a cigarette while driving, but still all the therapeutic benefits that smoking has for me.
Most of you started vaping to end a dependency on analog cigs, I started vaping to avoid developing one
