Why do you guys vape?

[DC2]

I always felt that the act of inhaling and blowing out some sort of smoke was at least 50% of my addiction.

There is no question that many aspects of the "smoking ritual" are hugely important factors.
And also VASTLY underestimated by all the nicotine-haters in this world.

Basically, it's a breathing exercise, which similar techniques are used in meditation and Yoga.

I started to vape to keep myself from smoking, then I fell in love with this world of wonderfully creative people, devices, juices, ideas, and opinions. Oh and all the cool toys don't hurt either. Vapers are a group like no other.

And even that is only a part of it...

--Watching the swirling smoke/vapor is relaxing
--Having something mindless to do with your hands while relaxing is important to many
--Taking a break from the world for small periods of time
--An opportunity to collect your thoughts

There are so many aspects to the "smoking ritual" that are not recognized by most people.
And that includes many smokers, and many vapers.

And of course, all of the nicotine-haters (ANTZ) who can not tolerate such nonsense.

I don't see a need.

I'm sure you don't.

Look, there's no point in having a discussion with those who only want to see things one way.

I think if you go back and read my posts you will see I'm pro vaping and pro smoking, however I also understand there's a public concern from others and I choose to be respectful of others instead of the in your face attitude. Many aspects of vaping and its health concerns have yet to be known so lets not act as if we know it all already. That's rather short sited.

I'm not sure how what you said in your post above has ANYTHING to do with what WE were talking about.
But since you refused to clarify your point, I guess this is where things stand for now.

Since your previous post in this topic was

I know it's addictive, no argument from me, as far as I'm concerned it's a scientific fact and anyone saying different is fooling themselves and not accepting actual facts that have been proven with years of studies. Smoking or vaping it, it's addictive, there's just some that don't want to admit it. These are usually the same ones who smoked for years and liked it but then decided to quit and trade smoking tobacco for smoking vapor and now constantly hate on tobacco. It makes no sense.



That may be your thinking however every vaper I know also uses tobacco. The only ones who I ever hear saying they only vape are people on the web. I think its really a small portion that once smoked and now only vape, but there are of course many who never smoked but vape because they like it. Vaping is starting to become popular especially among the younger adult crowd. It's looked as the cool thing to do and has no connection to quitting smoking at all.

With not much to go on, I can only guess the bolded part is the heart of the matter. With no disrespect, "years of studies" is worth nothing. Presenting those studies may have a value if the science holds water. Which I very much doubt it does for studies to find "the most addictive substance". Your results can in no way be anything more than a reflection of the criteria you set. That's not science. That is fishing for soundbites.

I was agreeing with the earlier poster who included factual links. Please go back and have a look. Its actual science and can't be disputed.

Except that it was disputed, with actual science and links, and no substantive reply.

Wrong it was disputed by opinion, which by its very nature is not fact.

So you didn't read the links I posted. Why am I not surprised?

 

[sub4me]

The agenda you posted?? LOL, no.

 

[DC2]

The agenda you posted?? LOL, no.

And this is why a "dislike" button is so necessary.

You wanted science, you got it, didn't read it.
If you want, I'll post it again so you don't have to be bothered trying to go back and find it.

I vape because the community gets along so well. All the time.
