When Rachael Lloyd took up vaping, she thought she'd stumbled across a miracle alternative to smoking. Little did she know, her e-cigarette wasn't quite as guilt-free as she'd assumed - as the World Health Organisation is now starting to realise

Two days later I scurried to my doctor for a second opinion. She asked exactly how much vapour I was consuming per hour. “Up to forty inhalations an hour on a particularly stressful day,” I admitted. According to her, I was inhaling the equivalent of 40 fags a day – at least in terms of nicotine. There was no doubt about it, I was a vape addict.

vaping is not smoking. It is water vapor. What is she griping about anyway. At least she is not inhaling the tar and other by products just the nicotine.
How much evidence do you need?
LOL!
I am a non-smoker who has given four friends an Ego-T tank system electronic cigaret as a gift. The friends varied from moderate social cigaret smokers to a heavy three pack a day smoker. Only one still vapes and smokes occasionally. She uses non-nicotine e-juice but will bum a real cigaret off a friend occasionally to smoke with them socially. . . but always says it tastes horrible. The rest, including the three-packer have quit completely! It took just three months to four months for them to stop.
That is what terrifies the tobacco companies.
even if absorbed through the skin
That's true, but very few people buy pure nicotine. I get my juice in varying doses. A 39ml bottle will have anywhere from 0 to 16mg in it. It takes quite a while to go through an entire bottle, even if you're vaping pretty much constantly.
And the government.
Anti smokers are going to bash vaping to keep the crusade alive
Like MADD or SPLC and so forth
My wife smoked a pack a day of Marlboro Lights until 9 months ago
Then she trued Blues etc.....worked a little... better than nothing
So I bought her a fancy vape nail
She started on 24mg saffire tobacco flavor
Now she’s on 8mg....not sure how low she’ll get
Is it completely risk free...I doubt anyone knows
But her coughing and congestion is gone
No heat or sugars or additives etc going into her lungs and cardiovascular
Nicotine itself is not particularly harmful unless overdosed or inhaled as smoke
But the anti cigarette mob has vested itself so much they are not likely to let smokers off so easily
I hear Hale Boggs is not dead actually and is really a 100 year old piano player in Farbourg Marginy
We all hear things...
What, are you a pharmacist? Hell yes it's a poison, so is alcohol. The dose is what's important in case of both substances.
If you vape too much too soon you get "nic sick" and have a bellyache; then you cut back your usage.
I've been vaping steadily for several years now and it's been a positive change from cigarettes.
