Would you smoke again?

Well - in this case even if they taste bad - I think that I very likely would. I know it would be so much better if I didn't - but that never stopped me before
After my last experience smoking, even if all of the harmful side effects of smoking were eliminated I don't think I would go back. My last cig was so awful in every way possible. The taste, the smell, the way my lungs hurt from the smoke. It was enough to make cigs completely unappealing to me. I do at times miss the ritual of smoking, but after that experience I really don't even have the desire to go back.
Now this is all easy enough for me to say because I have my PV, if I no longer had it, who knows. I'm only about a little over a month or so without cigs. At one point I forced myself to enjoy cigs until I actually did enjoy them and then got hooked on them. If I were to have my PV and nicotine taken away before I was ready to give it up, I'm not so sure that I wouldn't pick cigs back up.

Don't miss smoking a bit. I guess that is why it was so easy for me to switch. But I'd get back on the Camel if e-cigs were just a mirage. I've done it many times before.
Let me think...the Cherry Red Wine (I mixed myself) that I'm vaping or a cigarette that contains, Formaldehyde, Tar, Cyanide and the tons of other crap they load into cigarettes?
I think it's unanimous...vaping!
I dropped the nicotine content of my diy juice from 36mg to 24mg. I noticed I am not chain vaping anymore and I think the drop in nicotine will make me feel even better.
Also I notice I am not fouling up cartos and clearos as I did when I chain vaped.

Knowing what I do now... Nicotine controls several issues I have. I would purchase inexpensive tobacco and soak the nic out, then put THAT into juice and drink it before I would re-take up smoking.
Which is why I have recently started experimenting with Swedish snus. I'm also not sure if everyone who answered the thread read all of the OP's post.
hmm, that's a tough one...if they were indeed harmless to my health, i'd probably vape the vast majority of the time, and smoke semi-seasonally, lol, as i get an overwhelming urge to have one whenever i'm mingling with smokers at outdoor events during nice weather (and having an adult beverage or three, of course ).
but, i'd never go back to smoking on a regular basis, nor would i smoke indoors ever again...as i had a "slight" problem with accidentally setting fires.
(i literally set my desk ablaze, TWICE, while working as a proofreader for the city newspaper back in the 80's...and i didn't even *notice* it either time. i had apparently set documents too close to a lit cigarette in my ashtray before walking away briefly during each incident...and, both times i was informed of the occurrence via the PA system, LMAO. during the big one, i ran back to my office to see my boss (aka Danny DeVito) struggling to put out the flames with one of those gigantic, industrial fire extinguishers.
i know, it's only funny because no one got hurt, thank god. but, the real shocker? -- it was funny to upper *management* as well 
, and considered no big deal, as smoking was so commonplace back then -- in fact, more of them smoked than didn't...and, again, this was at a NEWSPAPER -- stacks and stacks of it, everywhere! 8-o)

After 20 years of smoking and 8 months of vaping...I couldn't go back. I find that I can't stand the smell or taste of cigs any more...which I consider to be a good thing! I'm actually almost down to 0mg..so trying to kick nicotine too. Just bought two bottles of juice, same flavor, one is 5mg the other os 0mg. I'm going to take the labels off, mix them up so I don't know which is which. Once I'm done with the bottles, I'll know that I made it through w/ no nicotine..and will only buy 0mg.
I said I gave up cigarettes but I'm still s m o k i n'!!
I don't want to smoke again. It just doesn't interest me anymore. Smoke, ashes, butts, ashtrays, clothes burnt, smell like a goats @55. No thanks.
I would,but I really dont get a kick out of doing something that tastes like I am licking an ashtray..Lord knows how I ever started in the first place..
