Quitting smoking, using E-cigs...safe?

Man I've got this book called Easy Way that's been p damn good. I think I have the .epub somewhere if you want pm me I can send it to you.

And to hit your actual question. It helped me last time. I had an ecig rig (one of those $20 with a tank) and weened down on the nicotine. One day it broke and.. I didn't care. It was just done. Eventually alcohol and friends got me smoking again a 6 months later though.

I quick smoking and started vaping around a year ago, one of the best decisions of my life, I don't smell anymore and neither does my car, house, or clothes. I can breathe, smell, and taste food again! People Love to say how bad vaping is for you, but they're all misinformed, read unfunded, impartial studies and you'll see. Last thing to say is i tried to quit using blus and it didn't work, visit your local vape shop and pick up something a little better, you don't have to be huffing obnoxiously huge clouds, but a slightly better vape will be much more enjoyable, which is what pushed me over the edge to completely forget about cigarettes. Best of luck!

I really feel you on the nicotine addiction. I've felt that it's the biggest thing between me and who I want to be. It only takes a few days of withdrawal to quit (hard as fuck, I know).

I once quit using Wellbutrin. After about a month of it, I just didn't want cigarettes. My problem has always been with staying quit, rather than quitting though and I got back on in 3 months.

I'm currently cold turkeying and I feel great. I think I just got to the point where I'm so tired of the addiction and ill health that I don't miss it that much.

Anyway, good luck with whatever you do. To answer your question, gaping is better than smoking. I suggest a high dollar vaporizer because the quality of the drag is a lot more satisfying.

I would invest on those rebuildable ones or cartridge ones other than the disposable type of e-cigs if you're thinking of staying with vaping as an alternative with cigarettes. I have been vaping for little over 2 years now and I would say its a better alternative if you cant go cold turkey. Plus, it could be a new hobby in the making if you do end up liking it.

There isn't a lot of research done on the safety hazards of e-cigs, especially on the long term. But don't go too cheap on them, the cheapest ones usually also use the cheapest ingredients.

That being said, if you want you can build down your nicotine use with them. Start by smoking 18mg nicotine e-cigs/eshisha. Then go down to 12mg after a week or two Then go to 6, 3 and eventually zero.

Try going with a brand that lets you screw on different cartridges. This way you can choose flavours and nicotine levels. Club Nova shisha/e-cigs are pretty good. They also aren't overly big like those liquid vapors. It's just a tip (the battery) and on the lower end you can screw on a different cartridge.

No substitute for cold turkey. You're going to have to do cold turkey sooner or later.

Vaping is not risk free. There's scientific evidence that vaporizers significantly safer. That is, lower rate of cancer, heart disease, and stroke. It's still an open question though, since vaporizers haven't been popular for very long.

The main reason is that the vapor doesn't contain reasonable amounts of the two major classes of carcinogens found in tobacco smoke. That is: Nicotine-derived Nitrosamines (NNs), and Polycyclic Aromatic hydrocarbons, (PAHs) which are benzene derivatives. These are compounds which are extremely good a damaging DNA.

Vaporizers do however produce non-negligible amounts of formaldehyde, which is pretty toxic, but far Less than the two previous classes of compounds.

This probably account for a lot of the negative health effects with vaporizers.

Anything is better than cigs. Ecigs are not proven to be harmful but they sure arent healthy.
