I am soon to be 60 yrs old. I started smoking when I was 11 yrs old. I have tried everything to quit with no success. I never really wanted to quit as smoking to me was enjoyable. I was forced into quitting by the expense of it. Yes in our (free world) those who choose not to smoke have forced a situation upon others. I do believe that teaching the dangers and the pain of addiction to our youth is important. I also believe that free will to make choices for ourselves is a God given right! That being said I recently started vaping as a way to help me stop smoking. It is the only thing that has done it for me. I am now smoke free 9 weeks and doing fine. I have reduced my nic craving gradually and soon will only enjoy the wonderful flavors without any nic at all. Its like having your cake and eating it too! I get so angry hearing how e cigs are bad. Excuse me but the first thing they do when in hospital is try to give you a nic patch or offer you any narcotics to help you detox HOW is this better?? This is totally crazy! I am not exaggerating this I have first hand experience with this. Both as a patient and a healthcare worker.Plz explain how or why one is alright but not the other That is expecially when the other seems to work better for me and many others I know! Whos trying to white wash another situation in thier favor?? Thanks for hearing me out. As for me I am thankful and happy to use vaping as a wonderful option.
