I have been a pack a day smoker for 36 years. Vaping has – perhaps literally – added years to my lifespan that would otherwise have been shortened. I switched to vaping and E-cigs about 3 years ago. Before that, I had attempted to quit using the patch (crazy dreams), but it inevitably failed within a month each time. Cold Turkey is not an option, because I become damn near murderous. Cutting back failed. The one and only time I didn’t fail, has been with E-cigs. Vaping is NOT ‘smoking.’ Tobacco is NOT E-juice. Without E-juice, I would still be smoking cigarettes, creating trash with every one, and polluting the air around me. I am gobsmacked that any government organization would place vaping in the exact same regulatory category as tobacco. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I can breathe deeply now, do not wake myself up coughing at night, do not stink of tobacco, and do not have to creep outside multiple times a day while working, in order to huddle with the other social outcast smokers. That last fact alone, should appeal to any business owner with employees, and also to the vast medical and insurance corporations, the Red Cross, all lung cancer institutes, hospitals, etc. They should be embracing and promoting Vaping, instead of casting a jaundiced eye and claiming it has not caused anyone to cease smoking. Clearly, that is a falsehood. I and everyone like me, are living proof.
