My friend’s 25 year-old son was a heavy smoker. He got married, and when his first kid was born, decided he needed to quit. So he started vaping. Slowly dialed down the nicotine to the most minute levels. He now vapes only when drinking/socializing.
Vaping was a life-saver for him.
Good for him and his family. Just don't tell the anti-vaping jihadists. They don't care. I'm not a pot/cigarette smoker but if vaping gives somebody pleasure without harming others (such as kids) then I'm all for it.
I was never a smoker but I chewed tobacco for about 20 years. At 52 after I was diagnosed with prostate cancer (not related to tobacco) I decided that the gamble was not worth it.
I switched to nicotine gum. Made my wife very happy. I love it and I can do it anywhere and it doesn't bother anyone.
Now I am addicted to the gum, but what the heck at least it does not cause cancer and gross everyone out.
