Your opinion on this video?

I just looked up his bio., which reads, in part: "Dr. Kennedy member of the National Speakers Association who spoke for and performed workshops for individuals and companies such as Merck, Schering-Plough, Younglife, Progressive Healthplex, and Pfizer." So we know that some of his income is derived from drug companies. And the title of one of his talks that he offers as a public speaker is: "7 Secrets to being an Effective Pharmaceutical Representative."

What a joke... I think I might try some C O C A I N E too!! It sounds better than what he's selling HA!
On a more serious note, if you really want to "get off" nicotine, vaping is the way to go...
1. Get off analogs and their different chemicals as well as TAR once and for all
2. Once you're settled in with vaping, just decrease the nicotine mg until you're at "0"
3. Just quit it all once the addiction to everything is completely gone!

The above is much simpler than from some "cigarettes to nothing" program....believe it, I've tried to quit 1000 times with no luck... By far, switching to e-cigs 2 weeks ago has been the easiest... I don't even think about smoking an analog, and my wife still has them in the house and smokes them.

Wow, this just kind of made me mad. I've tried for years to quit and ALWAYS went back to smoking. Not this time, not with e-cigs. Even if they end up banned, they won't take away my ability to vape and I'm not going to contribute to big tobacco ever again!!!

AMEN TO THAT! Hey, if they do ban them...we'll just have to start our own secret society! U.E.C.F.- Underground-e-cigarette-forum...

The video -- He strikes me as a guy who feels his livelihood is being threatened, and is striking out against that which he perceives to be the threat, even if the effort includes flat out lies and the spread of disinformation. Its hard to admit you've made a bad career choice (I should know).

Reminds me of the website that claimed vaping THEIR e-cigs while pregnant is totally safe... Hahahahaha.

Whoops... I forgot to quote. My post doesn't make much sense without it. Oh well.

Talk is cheap, let the facts speak:

After 5 months of vaping:

1. I don't have circulation issues anymore (meaning I don't get pins and needles in my arms for no reason)
2. I don't wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air, feeling like I'm about to die.
3. I can smell and taste food as well as to be expected
4. My lung capacity has improved considerably
5. Heart rate is normal, so is blood pressure
6. I don't wake up in the morning feeling like I got driven over by a truck.
7. I feel more alert
8. I can play sport like a non smoker

Only bad thing is, sometimes I get a very mild pg build up in my lungs from vaping all day long. Other than this I vape like a crack ..... on a friday night, and feel as healthy as a 16 year old virgin.

How can you possibly believe some misinformed fool over what your own body is telling you?

Finally it's really simple - smoking = 4000 odd chemicals delivered via combustion producing carcinogenic tar and toxins. Vaping = 14 odd chemicals, mostly PG / VG tested as safe for inhalation delivered without carcinogenic tar.

I heard another doctor say vaping is at least 99% safer than smoking, and this seems more accurate.

In fairness, he did say that vaping won't break your addiction to nicotine.
I reckon that's a fact. And, I stand by my comment in post #25

While that may be true, and I can only speak for myself, I feel that if for some reason I had to give up vaping ...
it wouldn't be as hard to do as quitting cigarettes would've been to do cold turkey.
