I've heard no negative reports from people who are using it to cut down or quit smoking; only many positive ones.

I'm not a smoker and I'm not going to get into the "smoker vs. non-smoker" crap here, I just wanted to address your point above.

I don't know anyone who "used to" smoke that's used vaping to actually quit smoking in total. When I say that, I mean they vaped for awhile and then quit vaping.

I don't know anyone who's done that. It seems to me that vaping is just substituting one method of getting something into your lungs (cigarettes) for another (vaping.)

Truth is that neither the substances from cigarettes or vaping belong in your lungs in the first place.

I get it, smoking is an addiction as much mental (hand to mouth) as it is physical (nicotine.) That's my basis for saying vaping is just substituting one habit for another.

Good luck to you all.

I’ve quit vaping multiple times. It’s not hard. I’ve smoked cigars for years and quit smoking them without any issues. There’s something about cigarettes that makes them extra addictive to most people.

By your logic then caffeine doesn’t belong in you body. However we’ve discovered that mild stimulants like caffeine and nicotine are both pleasurable and useful in daily life. You’re free to be puritanical holier than thou about it, but no one likes a holier than thou jerk.
