I quit smoking about 25 years ago. Then like a dummy I started smoking again about 5 years ago. I tried everything to quit. Gum, patches, cold turkey but nothing was effective this time. I wonƒ??t even mention the long list of disgusting symptoms associated with gum and patches. I remember back to the fever, sweat, disorientation associated with quitting 25 years ago. This time it was worse. I actually gave up trying. Then one day my son said to try e-cigarettes, which I did (we call it vaping). For a month or so I smoked and used vapes. But something miraculous happened; I lost my desire to smoke traditional cigarettes. I actually preferred the various great tasting fruit and candy flavors. I have not smoked a cigarette in almost 3 years. I attribute this to vaping. I have been able to titrate down nicotine to 5mg. I can breathe again, taste food and know that my body is no longer being exposed to 5,000 toxic cigarette chemicals associated with combustion. Nicotine is somewhat addictive but is not known to cause cancer. Why would you want to effectively ban the most effective smoking cessation method the world has ever seen? My thought is that governments are hurting for money and want tax revenue. They don’t care if folks like me die, or not, as long as they can generate taxes on vaping products.
