Stopped caughing.

[VIVAP2]

I know now quite a few folks who switched to e-cigs and they are all saying few days to a week or so after they stopped caughing *in the morning*. So if I tell this to a smoker, am I making a health claim?


Is it okay?

It's only been 2 days since my last analog cigarette and i haven't noticed any extra coughing, but maybe it hasn't hit me yet.

I have stopped coughing as well, but other conditions related to long term smoking might persist like COPD. Even if that is that case (and maybe even more so) the e cigs should be better then continuing smoking.

It is what it is. I don't know if you need to go so far as to label it a "health claim."

Personally, I was in denial about my smoker's cough, probably because it wasn't chronic or dropping me to my knees. But until I read your question I didn't really think about the reality of it: I did have coughing, it was from smoking, and I haven't had it since... probably about two weeks after I started vaping.

To me, it's "funny" that I would just bypass the whole coughing thing. But I was in denial when I had it, so not noticing when it stopped probably makes sense.

If you generalize from what you have heard and say ecigs get rid of the morning cough, that would be a health claim. If you simply repeat what former smokers have told you happened to them, being clear that it is anectodal evidence, it is not a health claim.

I hope that makes sense. 'Anecdotal' simply means personal experience.

Anecdotal is the correct spelling, blast.

I always used to hack up a lung in the morning before my first cigarette - that is now gone! It might be a good idea to point people to this forum to see all the good things people are saying about it.

a friend of mine said that in two weeks his cough was gone, and he started to taste and smell better.

OK obviously if he stopped smoking cigarettes he would not stink of tobacco, I actually meant his senses of smell and taste improved....
