One of my docs VAPES! I love saying that at every opportunity but all my PCP team is MORE than fine with it. I am going to miss them when I move, that is for sure. I never get a RASH of anything other than, "Oh god, your lungs sound so much BETTER. Keep vaping, I thought you were going to be my youngest COPD patient." That type of stuff.

Since January I've dropped 30 more pounds. I lost 13 last year. I'm down to 204 and wear 34" waist jeans (down from 40" waist at one point). My goal is to be in the 190's again. My doctor will be happy in November. We went through the smoking thing back in 2009. When I showed up in his office with my eGo he was a happy guy. He even let me demonstrate it in the examining room. After that, he researched vaping and had pro vaping pamphlets in his waiting room for a while.
I began to realize that all I had to do to lose weight was to learn to recognize the "full" feeling and quit eating at that point. The pounds started to melt away. I've worked out in my home gym upstairs 3 to 4 times a week for most of my life, but exercise can only do so much.
I have a Total Gym, treadmill, free weights, and an exercise bike from Dick's sporting goods. Over the years it's been my getaway location for an hour and a half 3 to 4 times a week. I have a desk with my PC and a 32" TV on the wall and it's also my music room where my guitars and amps reside. I watch Netflix episodes while I ride the bike. It's all good!

Many years ago, pre-vape, I had an interesting encounter with a physician. I wanted the Nicatrol Inhaler. I thought it would help with both nicotine and the hand to mouth ritual that was and remains important to me in cigarette cessation. His reply was, wait for it, "You're just substituting one bad behavior of another". I replied with four words, "Carbon Monoxide, particulate matter". He changed the subject, I changed the doctor.
I don't do doctors unless needed. Makes as much sense to me as going to a shrink and asking for a crazy label. He'll surely find one for ya.
Just turned 64 in July. Got my first first ticket on the drug train. Blood pressure meds. Returned couple weeks later... Of course they had another med suggestion. Took that one a couple months and stopped. I'll stick with the BP stuff but I ain't building a med locker in my spare room.
I showed my Rover X to my heart doctor who high fived me and said "good idea".
He was a 25 year 3 pack a day smoker at one point. He stopped before vape tools were invented and said that probably would have helped him.
I asked him how he quit. He said "wife said stop smoking in my house or I'm filing for divorce".
Doh!!

And on the other hand when my doctor asked me the questions always asked and came to "do you still smoke" and I said "no, I stopped smoking months ago and started vaping a couple of months ago" he perked up. He congratulated me, we discussed it for awhile then he asked me to put together some literature about vaping that he could photocopy and hand out to his other still smoking patients (I did, and keep him up to speed on new information). And he told me I could vape in his presence. Over 5.5 years later I still do not vape in his office. Like with the stinkies/pipes that I used for over 50 years I haven't done either around non users since the late mid 70's when I first heard about second hand smoke... common courtesy goes a long way. My doctor still supports vaping as a viable alternative to stop using tobacco products.
I tell them this.....the government, BT, and BP has actually got you believing what your saying? If you just thought about what your saying, you would realize just how silly it sounds. Those people mentioned above know vaping is much safer and they are loosing big dollars because of it, so they create a load of b/s and people like you actually believe it. Bottom line is vaping is much much safer because there is no combustion and it's that, what kills you. I tell them that it's all about money and not lives unfortunately when it comes to this issue and that they should wake up and actually think about it. I also tell them about how my health and millions more have dramatically improved since vaping. I try explaining just how much money is gained from the cancers and sicknesses created by those 5000 chemicals in cigarettes and if that was elimineliminated , just how much dollars would be lost. I keep going on with more info like this and usually, by the end of it, get them thinking that perhaps they have been duped

The Doctors I have all approve of vaping vs smoking. The PCP said it is better than smoking and changed Medical record to former smoker.
He's a winner. Keep him!
Responsible doctors are into substitution where there's safe(r) alternate to a bad habit. If they require abstinence I abstain from their practice when it comes to vaping over smoking.
public opinion changes every 10 years....we just need to be patient and a lot less defensive.
In 1998, they told us not to get in a car with strangers
In 2008, they told us not to meet anyone off the internet.
Now it's 2018 and they want us to order up a stranger from the internet and get in the car with them....alone. I'm not knocking Uber....just sayin.....

Man, I've been all over fasttech & 3f this morning but nothing. Guess I'll try the DIY threads.
Always remind peeps not in the know about the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement. A short explanation will turn heads and refocus people's minds. Without a doubt.

Doctors are particularly important to educate. However, they're the least likely to be able to educate.
Could always keep cards with useful links to just hand to the stubborn and ignorant. Like the link in my sig. Just hand them a card and say you'll discuss it once they've read the links. End of conversation.
Sounds like if you need companionship, just get a Real Doll. You don't need to leave the house, and it doesn't talk back. (So I have heard)In 1998, they told us not to get in a car with strangers

At the risk of participating in a complete derail, you need to read customer testimonials about those things. It's hysterical and terrifying at the same time.
