I agree with you, and those statements by so-called experts show just how ignorant they are -- they may be experts at SOMETHING, but it's certainly not nicotine or smoking cessation. All they're doing is flogging the BP party line -- which supports Bp's cashflow, but doesn't do diddly-squat for smokers trying to quit.
I wasn't motivated to quit at all; had no real interest in it, because I knew how previous attempts had gone -- much suffering for myself AND my family, and eventual failure followed by more years of smoking. I was only interested in the ability to engage in something like smoking indoors instead of freezing my can off out on the porch when it was 20 degrees and windy -- it was only after arriving here and finding all the success stories that the idea of actually quitting entered my head at all, but even then I wasn't really convinced -- until I saw just how easy it was to substitute vaping for smoking and saw my daily cigarette consumption drop and drop and drop.. without even really trying. Once I did really try... those cigarettes were history.
And those so-called "experts" are just plain idiots without the first idea what they're talking about.
"Expert, texpert, doncha think the joker laughs at you?" I dunno about the joker, but vapers certainly are laughing at them -- and it's a particularly apt lyric, since the "joker" is usually a "wild card" -- which is precisely what e-cigs are.
