Why am i not coughing

[Graphene]

ok i just found an awesome local vape shop and i am getting set up with a new tank and i will have awesome flavor with my e juices. But to the point i have to be honest i never smoked a cigarette in my life and only started vaping because of my stress internalizing into physical pain among other things (for the record i am 18). However i have seen major improvements in my life i am less angry i am less stressed doing better in my path of education and i am breathing better (what!!!) yeah i started to notice when i got on a starter kit that i was not coughing when i would normally cough because of my asthma. I find this weird but its true. SO what do you think?

isn't that a good thing? personally, i know Propylene glycol is found in both e liquids and asthma inhalers, though i dont know the medical benefits of it. Vaping menthol or cool vapes also helps with the airway, I do specifically vape mentholish liquids when I have cold or flu. Either that or the action of taking looooong sloooooooow inhales when vaping is helping. Who knows!

I've no idea, Graphene. It might help had I ever experienced asthma. I can say that some people report remarkable health benefits from vaping. There are a somewhat similar number who blame it for the most unlikely problems. I'm glad you're one of the former. You do mention less stress. Is that an asthma trigger?

It could be any number of things. It sounds like a positive reaction whatever the cause

 

[Graphene]

thank you for the response i just wanted to get a sorta consensus on this because i have some disapproving bodies in my family and at school but from talking with them about it they think they know or know something but not everything or if nothing refuse any further info and just want me to quit. But i am glad they are just being passive-aggressive about the whole thing so when i can i don't have to be around them.

Well, 2nd hand vape isnt still as safe, since there is left over nicotine floating around in it. But i think we have better odds with vaping, and the biggest threat to us is diabetes, probably from all those tasty sweet juices that we are sucking in hahahahhaaaa

 

[Graphene]

i know right. But i get your point thats why i am trying to make whatever nic levels are in my e juice are lower

 

[Nermal]

I have diabetes with absolutely no adverse effects. I'm somewhat inclined to think vaping or sharply reduced smoking has been of benefit.

Hi Graphene and Welcome to the Forums!!! I am glad to hear that your experiencing positive reactions to vaping. For your information (FYI), you can get zero nic ejuice since you are not a smoker to begin with. No need for nicotine for you Plus you would be getting better flavor to boot.

Welcome Graphene!! I'm glad vaping has improved your health. I've been off analogs for a bit, with no weight gain!! I think all the great e juice flavors are the reason!!

are you using nic in your vape? and does ADD run in the family?.... I have ADD and nic helps me concentrate better.... allows me to stay focused longer...

Propylene glycol is a mild anti-bacterial and anti-fungal - as already mentioned it's used in asthma inhalers and is sprayed in small quantities into the air in many hospitals and other places. If you're health problems are related to these things, it could be helping you keep down infections.

need to buy some 100 PG for my toenails.... wonder if there is a flavor that works good on toenails?

My sister-out-law (a former smoker) has very bad asthma, and she always used to tell me that the long, slow draw through pursed lips (as when smoking a cigarette) helped control her asthma. Of course, it works even better now that's she not drawing in that smoke... Maybe the controlled inhaling helps you too?

Nicotine is an alkaloid, just like coffeine. So it is 'psychoactive'.

Dosed just right it can have some benfits to that gearbox between your ears. Overdo it and you experience adverse effect. Just like with anything else, the dosage makes the difference.

Could be that the antibacterial properties of PG are straightening out the flora in your respiratory system favourably.

So let others gripe and mope and enjoy the benefits
