I had been a 2 to 4 pack a day smoker for over 30 years until I discovered vaping. I am now proud to say I have been cigarette free for a little over 2 full years now. And I have stepped down my nicotine level from 32 to 12 in just 2 short years. All thanks to the electronic cigarette. I had tried nicotine gum, Chantix, the patches, and even hypnosis. All without any noticeable result. My doctors (plural) are even glad I made the switch. With a little over 5 chemicals in the liquid, it is FAR superior to normal cigarettes which put out over 4000 chemicals 69 of which are known carcinogens. Including carbon monoxide, Propionic Acid, Ammonia, Ammonium Hydroxide, Ammonium Sulfide, Benzaldehyde, Sodium Hydroxide, tar, and hundreds of other killer chemicals simply not found when vaping. I highly recommend you read a document titled Peering through the Mist. It was done by a group of scientists all with PHDs and it found there is next to no 2nd hand vapor that could be dangerous in the workplace. Each and every chemical in the e-liquid was studied and the resolution was there was no risk to anyone but the person vaping. Using the Approved methods simply do not work for the majority of smokers and some of them like Chantix are downright dangerous. It caused a good friend of mine to think her husband was trying to kill her and her doctor Put a baby in her butt. Needless to say, she went to the psych ward for several months. She was never right afterward. And to think it is one of the Approved alternatives. Consumer Reports USED to be my go to source for an unbiased report, but no longer if you continue publishing such tripe. I am now a lot healthier and no longer have asthma, chronic bronchitis, smokers cough, and our house no longer reeks of cigarette smoke.
