Vaping/E-cigarettes

Hi everyone, this news report was on yahoo.co.uk today and I'd thought I'd share it. I know quite a few people on here try vaping to reduce/stop their smoking habit before surgery, so just be careful to check the ingredients of the ones you use!

(NB: Obviously news sites want you to click on the article, so I'm uncertain as to the accuracy of their sources, but definitely worth checking regardless).

  • Exactly. I smoked for 20 years, anywhere from 1 1/2 packs to 3 packs a day. I quit with e-cigs. I'm sick to death of the fear porn being leveled against e-cigs. It's like people are fanatically obsess

I'm tired of this bullsh*t. Vaping helped me quit smoking after 25 years. I only vaped for a few months, and no longer vape or smoke, but I'll take vaping over smoking any day. It is FACT that vaping is safer than smoking.

People are going to do it regardless.

It's like people are fanatically obsessed with destroying the one option that can actually save lives by getting people off of cigarettes.

Excuse me for the late reply, just realised I had answers here.

Vaping is a lot safer than cigarettes, of that I have no doubt, the article is just advising caution with some flavours as certain ingredients can cause complications. If you're smoking, vaping is a better option. If you're vaping some of the flavours mentioned, you may want to switch. I wouldn't call that bullshit or fanatical.
