Open discussions on Vaping

The other additives and chemicals besides nicotine?

1) By itself, nicotine is not HIGHLY additive. If it is, wouldn't the doctors and researchers who administer nicotine to subjects to test the effects against Alzheimer, Parkinson's, Tourette's be in breach of the Hippocratic oath?

2) If nicotine is HIGHLY additive, why is it that so many people on ecf (as far as I've read) are able to drop their nic levels. Some quite quickly. And remember, vaping is not as efficient as smoking in delivering/absorbing nic.

3) Now Chia, honestly, does vaping give you the same satisfaction as smoking? For me, NO. But, at 24 or 36mg, SIMULATE the satisfaction required to keep me off cigarettes. The higher nic content for me, replaces the role of the other chemicals/additives in cigarettes.

4) To be frank, I'm half sussed. Too much drinking. I could give other reasons why nicotine is not the devil. But I'll leave this as the final point: I'm currently at 24-36mg, but I can PROBABLY stop if I want to. vaping doesn't scratch my back anymore. Cause I'm over cigarettes and the chemicals. My back don't itch no more. I vape now because I'm a creature of habit, not because I DESPERATELY want/need it.

I'm no doctor/researcher/scientist. But I sure as hell know my body/needs more than them.

Nicely put. I can't remember where I saw it, but it's unbelievable how many additives are in cigarettes.

I feel as though my cardiovascular health has improved in the two years since I switched from smoking to vaping. Blood pressure and cardio-stress tests seem to confirm this and my doctor is pleased with the results. My only concern with the practice involves the use of certain flavoring agents and how they might create unsafe compounds when mixed, heated, and inhaled. I hope that rigorous unbiased tests are underway that will enable vapers to make informed decisions about the products they purchase and the manner in which they use them. I also believe that as temperature control technology matures it will result in safer vaping for those that chose to employ it.
