I was vaping for 9 months after I gave up cigs, I was hospitalized end of May, Dr told me vaping was just as bad, that scared me enough to stop, it's got to be healthier than cigs though

Dr also told me vaping was bad and 2 get some nicotine patches which I plan 3 do

I gave up for 17 months until I started again a few months ago, and found the patches really helped as did the little white inhalator you can get as well. There is no vapour with it just a nicotine cartridge inside. I found this great for mad cravings and you can also use it anywhere. Good luck. x

I stopped smoking and went into usining a vape, I thought it was wonderful, no coughing no smell of cigarettes. I got back to back colds with horrendous sore throats! Thus us someone who never gets more than a sniffle! It floored me! So I get tested for copd, confirmed, stopped smoking with patches, till my hypnotherapy- OMG best thing ever! No patches, I don’t even think about it! Definitely recommend it, best money I’ve ever spent, just wish I’d done it years ago 💖

Hi I gave up smoking, I think I used every aid going patches gum and gaping. With vaping I found the juice with the higher content of vegetable oil and less sweet candy type flavors suited me better. Obviously if the vaping is giving you a tight chest change your juice until you find one that does not.

Hi Karen blue, I smoked for 25 years hence my dreaded emphacema now. I used e cigs to give up the cigs, they really help me. It's been 4 years since I had a cigarette now. I enjoy my vape. My nurse told me it's healthier than cigs. 🌹👍

Does ur breathing feel worse or not

[Arch74]

It's stayed the same really. I still think e cigs are better than cigs. 👍

Problem with vaping I n is you don’t know what chemicals have been added

[powderpuff in reply to Oshgosh]

Quite true! There really isn’t any amount of evidence as yet that supports vaping or not.

It’s encouraging that so many manage to give up smoking via vaping though & I like the fact of 95% less chemicals.
