Good (and funny) question. My sister is hooked on the nicotine gum, I think it would be harder for her to give up the gum than it was for her to give up the 4 PACKS A DAY!!!!
My goal is to give up vaping. I think it is going to be far easier to give up vaping than it is to give up cigarettes. The PV was my means to get off cigarettes gently. It worked. Now I am weening myself off ncotine and it is working. That leads me to believe that the additives that are put into cigarettes are put in their to make nicotine more addicitve. I have found it easier and easier to vape less and less nicotine as I go along. Soon I should be able to vape 0 nic and then see how it goes from there.
That's what people say who don't smoke when i show them my pv's. "so then your going to ween yourself off of that?" The answer is NO. I love vapeing more then i loved smoking. I could sit inside and blow CLOUDS of vapor and no body smells it. Doesn't stink up my cloths, doesn't stink up my house, theres no ashes floating around everywhere, and i dont feel like my lungs are going to collapse.
I hope you're right, that's my plan too. It's just not socially (or health wise) acceptable to smoke analogs anymore. This is the greatest invention since...wheel, computers, tele??????
You know I'm not going to lie, smoking was killing me but I didn't want to quit, I would have my inhaler in one hand and an analog in the other. I'm substituting I love to vape, it's def safer than smoking so I'm satisfied.
Food.
And yes it should be easier to quit vaping, because you can ween yourself off the nicotine, and also the flavor. I still miss the smell and taste of cigarette smoke, so im sure it would be hard to quit getting a constant blast of raspberry, RY4,or whatever. But you could slip it down to straight PG.
Easiest scenario would prolly be: 18mg/12mg/6mg/no nic/no flavor/lesser PV(or weak atty)/quit
But really, think about if you even need to quit. I have no intentions of even quitting nicotine. If there's something in your life that makes you happy, and there's no downside (except $20 a month - hardly a worry), then why remove it. We only get one life, so make yourself as happy as you can without consequences. Thats just my take on it.
I think Garrell has the ideal scenario for quitting vaping, but I personally have no plans to ever give it up. EVERYONE has some sort of vice to keep their sanity and vaping seems to be a safe bet. Have you researched the effects of nicotine on the body (when not smoked as a tobacco)? It has not been proven to be a cause of cancer in healthy cells. IMHO the worst thing it seems to do is raise your blood pressure a little. It's kind of like how abstinence is the worst form of birth control...if you end up going back to analogs because you quit vaping, you would be doing yourself more harm than good.
Nothing personal about the quitting, but I've vaped since October and I've noticed that I vape pretty much on my time now. A few puffs before work and then - well - a bit more after work. Nicotine is now FUN. When I do stuff with my friends I no longer have to sneak out to have a puff.
Anyone find this to be the case?

Yep, I am so fresh and so noob but already the question has been put to me about how long I need to vape for, when I answer forever I get some strange looks. I am human therefore isn't a "handful" of vices a pre-requisite to basic life??? Or am I just sadly and pathetically trapped by my own warped views..........if this is the case then I'm okay with that

Hey guys I'm new here and just read the last few posts on page 1. I'm not trying to give anyone a bunch of crap and I'm not knocking ecigs as they are HEALTHIER than analogs but still not healthy.
Nicotine is not healthy but from what I understand as one of the poster's mentioned it doesn't cause cancer. Nicotine does effect the elasticity of the blood vessels, increase metabolism, I think blood pressure as was already mentioned and there are a few other downsides to it. I do not have any formal education on the subject but both my parents are nurses, my dad in particular has an extreme amount of education and experience in the medical field not to mention he's done a lot of research on this to try and help get my grandmother to quit.
As my dad put it an ecig will get rid of the cancer causing effects, respiratory effects but you will retain the cardiovascular effects. Switching to ecigs gets rid of the worst parts of smoking. My dad told me the time frame for full body recovery from my 7 years of smoking an average of 30 cigarettes a day is between 3-7 years (I'm 24). A few years to get almost back to baseline before I ever started and another few years to totally allow my lungs to fully replace the cells and tissue. Some of the potential cancer causing stuff will repair itself, some may not but the more time away the better chance I'll have. He also said the cardiovascular damage is something that at this point would take about 2 months maximum for my body to recover.
I once tried to tell a smoker friend of mine about this since he just bought an ecig and he pretty much blew me off which I guess is fine. All I'm saying is that nicotine does cause problems, the longer you do it the better the chance it will cause damage. For example my grandma's husband recently had a huge blood clot in his leg relating to all the smoking in his life and there was a serious potential for him to die if they couldn't remove or break up that clot. He's doing fine now, I believe they were able to break it up with meds or something but the point is nicotine does can have some serious effects that should not just be completely dismissed as harmless or non life threatening.

Meltmanbob,
There is a two year study done by the swedish on vaporized nicotine posted somewhere here on the forums, should look it up. There is a difference between nicotine and tobacco. Yeah, nothing is healthy for you now a days, caffeine, sugars... air. I'd rather be smoking this than a cigarette. In just one week I've gone from using an inhaler 3-4 times a day, sinus spray and severe sinus pills everyday to none of the above a day. So I let my bodies natural reactions speak to me, I'm bout it bout it! lol.

Oh and not to mention TMI, it's been marathon sex here around the clock for 5 days!!
Hi Meltmanbob, appreciate your words bud, but I've been lurking around the
forum for a while now getting a handle on the PV world and for the most part I think everyone is aware the nicotine is not "harmless". Theres just some much input from everyone that you've got to filter thru it to find a basis of truth. Pretty much thats the way of the internet........opinions, truths, half truths and flat out rubbish............somewhere amongst it all is some good insight.

LOL. I'll have to get back to you on that one! I just started vaping today to try and quit analog...quitting vaping isn't even an option at this point! But You definitely posted an interesting and thought provoking question there. I think I would rather be addicted to vaping than smoking (unless the big tabacco companies jump on this bandwagon and start producing their OWN line of juices and fill it with their sneaky little additives and poisons!)
