I quit 68 days ago, have also helped my Mother, Father, and friends quit and I am spreading this method out to everyone I can – even to random strangers. The positive effects this alternative has had on my health as well as my loved ones and friends has been undeniable. The government needs to tread lightly with this movement and see it for what it is – the potential to considerably lessen the smoking related deaths we see in our hospitals each and every year. Instead of trying to restrict it, they should fund short and long term studies. However, the opposite seems true, in California and New York they are lobbying to classify it as a tobacco product with no interest in any such studies (published studies that have already proven the improved health benefits of vaping vs smoking and the virtually non existent health effects it has on surrounding people). These are our representatives? Legislation being passed without even understanding the implications, whether positive or negative, that this new alternative can have for tobacco smokers? Why am I not surprised. In any event, this has been a Godsend for my family and friends – I hope that all smokers venture towards this alternative or quit all together; this is simply the future.
