Well done! Keep it up!

[CLKD]

So it isn't bothering you.  How are you filling your days? 

[kazy68]

It doesn't bother me at all CLKD, I honestly am surprised myself, I do my normal routine every day, do my housework, have granddaughter every afternoon from 1 till 5.30, so she keeps me busy, but I have had her from 4 months old and she will be 2 in November, but I don't miss smoking at all and I for one never thought I would give up a 30 a day habit.

I have been vaping for a little over two years now and found it to be the best thing for me to stop smoking. Started off on 18mg of nic and now down to 3mg.  I did try the patches but kept having strange dreams,then tried the gum and that made me throw up!  So now it's just been vaping and no stinkies at all.

Be careful, some are becoming addicted to the vape as well as turning to cigarettes  and there is no research about vaping that holds up.

Is that research done by big tobacco companies?    You'll be telling me next how vaping causes popcorn lung next!

I'm still a vaper, smoke free for 6 years now and don't intend to give up my cherry vape

Dr and dentist both know I vape and have never frowned at me for it, plus during my last anaphylaxis paramedic asked if I smoked and I said only vape, she said it doesn't count

At the end of the day it gives me pleasure, and like with hrt, it's quality of life over quantity x

Is there any research that points to any dangers, my friend is a Pharmacist and has read all the current 'research' ........ it does depend on how Funds that Research, whether it is Peer Reviewed etc..  We thought that smoking was OK initially so do take care.

Vaping was introduced in order to wean people off ciggies .......... so should be for short-term use, i.e. not longer than 4 12 months ;-)

I would be concerned if any medical professional didn't have up-2-date info but it seems that they really aren't bothered to delve deeply.

[Cazikins]

Well done to everyone that have been able to give up smoking cigarettes.

The fact that some have chosen to vape should also be applauded. It is less harmful, it doesn't smell & it gives pleasure.

Cazikins - ex smoker of 20+ roll ups a day. Last one smoked 8 years + 1 month after developing a polyp on larynx & BB being diagnosed with throat cancer & still with us thankfully. 

[CLKD]

Well done Cazikins nice to see you aboard.

Vaping certainly does smell.  I followed a woman yesterday in a street and it reeked ....... blew right back into my face!  Like ciggies, they should be used sensibly! 

[CLKD]

I have thus far in the last 6-7 weeks walked down streets in towns across the UK and smelt from vapes - in no particular order 

vanilla is the most common
peaches 
cannabis ? .........
more vanilla ........... like following an ice cream 
burnt walnuts

Now of course it might have been after shave  or a badly hung over-coat

Sounds like aftershave to me then CLKD, unless you could see them vaping that is...

[Annie0710]

I've never smelt anyone's vape before, but I vape cherry flavour so hopefully it'd be nice for someone if they did smell it

Kind of related but me and hubby were babysitting the grandchildren yesterday and we walked them all to the country play Park and in walked (fenced and gated area) a dad with his kid and the dad was smoking cannabis! It stunk ! X

[jillydoll]

Yeah, when I walk the dog I smell their weed everywhere.
Cars that drive past, cars parked up, ie, at the pub, in the park car park.
There's loads of it around here.
Young lads park up, and stand in the entrance of the park smoking it, it has a very high hedge, and only people actually going into the park can see you. So they think they're safe there.
It really does stink, your right Annie0710.
