My roomate quit smoking cigs over 9 months ago and there is so many benefits that people seem to easy dismiss ecigs.. You can always tell the uneducated person when the first thing they say about them is how they are still bad for you, i always roll my eyes at those kind of people, for they just dont know better... the smell on your clothes, breath and car alone should be enough to quit smoking. I know my roommate talks about every stinky smoker that walks by, not in a negative way, but that its just easier to notice. She's not ostracized anymore whenever she wants to step out and smoke, either by family, friends and other non smokers. When she started vaping she was on a high nicotine level and shes gone down to 1/4 of what she started with. She started with the junk lizard juice polypropylene glycol mixes to a much safer vegetable glycerine based liquid. Im not going to sit here and talk about the goods and the bad of either because nothing we do is healthy for us at the end of the day. Even after Mcdonalds has dozens of documentaries about how bad and fake their food is, their lines are always chock full....what im getting at is...people just dont give a shit anymore, its all about the instant gratification when you are smoking...just saying it like it is....
You can speak to ANY hardcore drug user, any of them, and they will tell you, smoking cigs is the one drug thats almost impossible to quit. People dismiss those that give them up way too easily. I was able to quit smoking tobacoo cold turkey no problem, but only 1% of people i know was able to do that. People can kick heroine and meth addictions, but will smoke most likely smoke cigs their entire lives....
The biggest issue right now is that people need that hand to mouth psychosomatic attributes of smoking a cig and find that a metal lightsaber like contraption to either be a great and powerful tool, or just another thing they spend a shit ton of money on and give up... they require patience, and the knowledge of how to clean them, assemble, and maintain them. My roommate would be sucking on cigarettes if she wasnt able to hand it to me and have me fix it....mainly because shes doesn't know what she doesn't know...and sometimes, you just dont want to fuck around with something, when all you want is a puff...thats why many people give up and go back to smoking.
I have done countless hours of research and testing on many types of vapes. If you have questions on anything ill be more then happy to help, jus ask.
