Went to the doctor today and about vaping....

I went for a bunch of tests a couple of weeks ago and my doc was impressed at how healthy I am since my last physical 2 years ago when I used to smoke.

I asked him his thoughts on vaping and his response was that "vaping isn't exactly good for you and I can't say I recommend it, but it is definitely MUCH better than smoking."

I think doctors are starting to be educated finally which I think is awesome.

I used Chantix and Xyban, and I can honestly say that they are unbelieveably evil products. Just awful stuff IME. I DID quit for a few years with Zyban, but I had a terrible time with the drug.

I told my doc I quit cigarettes and took up vaping. He thought that was great but still advised getting off the nicotine. In future visits he'd ask about the vaping, still supportive of it. BUT, he still charged my insurance for smoking cessation advice. Since I discovered that, I lie and tell him I'm nicotine free and don't vape.

When I asked the doctor about my lungs after the chest injury he told me I was the healthiest person he examined in a month. So I said, I guess I quit smoking at the right time. He looked at me surprised and asked me.......... You were a smoker??? I said yes almost 40 years of Marlboro Reds! He looked at me to see if I was serious and asked me..... Really? What are you doing? I said Vaping! He said well keep it up!

That is amazing !

That is amazing !

Yes, it made me feel good but I just hope I do not find out that smoking got me in the next 10 or 20 years.

It was so nice to hear from my doc her opinion,felt kinda confirmed when i always has a small wondering. Of course had she not agreed,i would have found one that did,lol. How awesome it would be to hear them say "You smoked?"
