Hello and

[*-SARIN-*]

Hey vincy2699, welcome to the forum. Alongside what other people have already said, you are hopefully already on the path to giving up smoking. Some of us, myself included have replaced smoking with vaping rather than trying to give up nicotine completely. Whilst i appreciate that vaping is putting both less toxins and carcinogenic substances into my body i also understand that vaping is not completely safe compared to just breathing air and this is something that you need to understand. Vaping is NOT "completely safe", and anyone that says it is, is either misinformed or a liar. What you will notice as you give up the smokes is the increase in smell and taste, better breathing and the lack of hacking cough in the morning. For me those were good enough reason to use and continue to use vaping to stay off the cigs.

Actually *-SARIN-* nothing is "completely safe". You can overdose on plain water and die. Clean air is the exception in most towns and cities what with industrial pollution and traffic fumes. Vaping is a "relatively safe" alternative to smoking and may be safer than many substances we regularly put in to our systems such as alcohol, sugar, salt etc. Yet a lot of these substances, salt for example, are absolutely essential to our wellbeing and indeed, lives.

I agree and the word "excess" is suitable here.  I'm a big believer in everything in moderation, abuse it and it will do you harm!

Full recovery at the moment is a bit far fetched, but as far as im concerned my condition is currently ''stable' ...anything besides 'abnormal' im fine dealing with it. thanks for the wishes though.. Im hanging in there!

Vaping is pretty much a better alternative to smoking for me at the moment.. Although 'not completely safe' its still safe to say its less harmful than cigarettes Alcohol on the other hand, pretty much does nothing good when consumed. Severe dehydration, liver problems, increased blood pressure, list goes on.. there's also no 'healthier' way to consume alcohol except drink with moderation or quit completely. Drink water and vap on due to my condition I vap in moderation (just in case) until the studies on the risks of vaping proves me otherwise.. We'll see right?
