    Used to be a pack a day smoker. Personally I don’t think it’s better for my health, but I don’t smell like an ash tray so I got that going for me.

      Really? It didn’t make you feel better either?

      When I got rid of cigarettes and started vaping, the differences were noticeable within a week or two, and they were astronomical. No more couching, no more headaches, less difficulty breathing, more energy, no more hoarse throat. Food tasted better too!

      Now, I know, this is not to say that vaping is healthy, but it does seem to suggest that it is at the very least healthier (or less unhealthy, if you want) than smoking cigarettes, unless feeling much better and getting rid of pain is a sign of worse health? In addition my clothes didn’t stink anymore and vaping is way cheaper too.

      Admittedly it took me almost 3 years, but I eventually got my nicotine content down to zero.
