I quit smoking cigarettes a while back and use one instead, usually a 50mg/ml strength.
It seems much healthier for the lungs! Maybe still unhealthy in some way, and certainly not an addiction to be desired. But better!
Are they easier to quit?
If you use one what do you recommend for liquids?
Of my 30+ years of nicotine use, I vaped for more than 10 years.
Healthier? My smokers cough disappeared within a couple of weeks of making the switch. I used a much lower strength liquid, maybe 10mg/ml, and I did not find it any easier to quit. I finally quit using the patch, and I had the extra motivation of chest pain every time I vaped.
My breath, and my cloths did not stink as bad. That was a positive.
I noticed the older I got there were fewer, and fewer smokers in my age group. And more of the ones that continued to smoke ended up on oxygen.
I would suggest to anyone that is a current nicotine user that they talk to there doctor about getting the test to measure there calcium score. It is relatively inexpensive, only takes a few minutes, and will give you an indication of what is happening to your arteries. Maybe think about following up every few years to track your progress.
