would you start smoking again if you couldn't vape?

If the worst happened (whatever that might be), no I would not go back to smoking.
I was probably getting much more nicotine smoking ciggys and with what I am vaping now (18mg & 24mg) I could easily wean off of that.
Mostly though, I can't go back to smoking..I have COPD (Asthmatic Bronchitis, chronic) and the thought of waking up in the middle of the night coughing and strangling, fighting for breath again just is not for me.
Plus, since i have stopped smoking the condition of my skin, hair and nails have improved greatly.
Not giving that up, lol :laugh:

The question remains though;

So you walk into a pharmacy.

You're not going to ask for "PG"

Maybe you will ask for "Propylene Glycol"
That sounds funny, like you are looking for ingredients to make a bomb or something; they're going to ask "What are you going to use it for?".

Maybe we will get to that point where if you say "for ecigarette fluid" it would seem perfectly normal, but surely if Propylene Glycol can be found in some pharmacy's there is some application you can ask for when looking; Maybe it is used as a solvent or preservative or used to prepare pharmaceuticals. "For mixing xxxxxxx".


"For asthma inhalers" ???????????????

Just a theoretical situation. If vaping was banned, would you just quit altogether or go back to smoking?

Just to be clear, this probably doesn't apply to us moderate smokers does it?

If it did, and vaping were magically eliminated, I'd probably quit smoking. Perhaps not permanently, but I would seek to take an indefinite break from smoking.

You can also use it as anti-freeze in the sinks and toilet of your recreational vehicle when you put it up for the winter. ;)
