E-Cigarettes / Vaping - General thoughts and feelings?

Hi Everyone,

I am an ex casual smoker (only when drinking at parties etc). I moved to vaping about a year ago and I think it is a great switch for both health and ozbargain money saving reasons.

Im just interested in discussing everyone's facts and feelings on the new trend… Pro's and Con's etc.

And the survey says….

    Smoking is bad..m'Kay.

    • But would you concede that some vapors that you inhale better than others? Asthma puffers (contains same mainingredients as vape liquids)? Nebulizers? As a non smoker what would you prefer all the people at pubs were smoking? Cigarettes or an odorless vapor? Thanks for your feedback though. :)

      • You can overdose(potentially) on a asthma puffer….. A smoker presumably uses a e-cig/vapor device more regularly then these devices(unless otherwise recommended by a doctor)….

    I was all for vaping/e-cigs when they first becoming popularised - surely they must not be as bad as cigarettes for your health, right?

    Unfortunately the current situation doesn't allow for much well-informed judgement as there are so few studies being done about the safety profile of vaping. This article came out earlier this year which doesn't sound promising but as I was saying there need to be more studies done before a firm decision can be made.

    Furthermore vaping is completely unregulated, which means you can never be sure of what you're getting or its safety. I'm sure every vaper has their trustworthy "source" but until we get some actual regulation going on it's not something I believe is suitable for the general public.

    Despite these thoughts I still fully support anybody's strive to quit cigarettes and if they believe vaping is their key to quitting for good then all the more power to them!

  • I had a weed vape. That worked well for about 2 weeks.

    Still not good for the lungs im sure. I don't smoke cigarettes but enjoy cigarillos or a cigar with coffee now and then. A vaporizer could not match the taste of good tobacco, they don't interest me at all.
