Provaping verse Antivaping

[DPLongo22]

Look i saved my daughter from smoking by buying her vape gear. I am putting my faith in vaping at the expense of my 19yr old daughter. Don't shot the messenger here or get me wrong.

I promise that nobody is shooting the messenger. Some of us are just genuinely curious. What you're looking for doesn't exist, and may never. We have options, and one of them is reducing nic until we can quit completely, which many have done.

That's not for me, and I have my own reasons for that, but it IS an option that vaping provides which smoking does not.

Kate, we don't know what long term is..i am assuming 10+ years at best...that is being an nonsmoker.

We've been vaping 10+ years (just about). I realize the future is mega scary for you (for all of us) and perhaps that's where these issues truly lie.

We are at the mercy of greed. Power, money, and influence will determine the result.

I would die for my kid as i am sure anyone of you would, if i thought vaping was dangerous, at this point of research i would not have turn her onto vaping..which she loves by the way and has put down cigs because of it. I am thrilled because i know vaping, least i believe, is far less harmful then smoking.

still waiting for someone to tell me what research has provided that answers the big question, are we trading out one bad habit for another...LONG TERM wise.

I had lived with the guilt of creating three of four smokers in my "kidset". I never prompted them to switch to vaping, but by four years ago, they all had (and still do today).

I'm happy about that, and feel less guilty than I had previously (although I wish I never had influenced them to smoke in the first place).

Regrets, we've (all) had a few...

Here's to good futures, may we be so fortunate.

So i will vape on according to my health until research tells me differently or my health says differently. I can only hope i am not in the same place years from now with different health problems due to vaping. Is that not a reasonable question i pose.

Ummm...... it's not "unreasonable", but it IS unanswerable. I suppose in the "long term" we all will know.

For now? The choice is simplistic. Vape or Smoke or Quit.

I choose vape.

I hate to say it, but at this point in time, it's actually not a reasonable expectation. It's way too early.

So again, we're at the choice stage. As smokers, ours were/are:

1. Smoke
2. Vape
3. Quit

Freedom remains at our disposal.

 

[DeAnna2112]

And i stated from the get go my choice was to vape and why...yet those of you got up in arms when i questioned what researchers had not answered.

 

[Katdarling]

DeAnna...... we'd answer if we could. You asked what researchers had not answered questions that are as yet unknown. I'm not sure how that's possible, or if anyone could give you those answers.

 

[DPLongo22]

And i stated from the get go my choice was to vape and why...yet those of you got up in arms when i questioned what researchers had not answered.

I can only speak for myself, but I mainly (at least initially) was responding to this:

I think we all should tread carelully

If that were my mindset, and it's obviously not, I'd quit.

 

[DeAnna2112]

and by the way..i am grilling pork chops and grilled veggies because i have about oh 8 teenagers over at my house who have been converted to vaping and put down their cigs because of me. I actually drove 20 miles to a vape shop and helped them pick out their gear. So i am not only looking out for me, but for them as well.

 

[Katdarling]

Pork chops

8 teenagers in your house? That would push me to drink and smoke again!
You're a much stronger person than I am!
