Just been to see nurse for blood tests & when asked about my smoking, I proudly announced that I had not had a ciggie for 6 months. This was met with great delight until I mentioned that I now use e-cigs!!!!

I was told that as I still 'take' nicotine, I am still classed as a smoker! I asked if this is the same for people on patches gum etc & was told yes. I find this hard to believe as there stats for stopping would be really low surely. She said that as I had made the first steps to quitting ( her words not mine) they would invite me in to go on the inhalers so I can reduce my nicotine addiction.

I politely pointed out that I did not wish to quit & vape as a healthier alternative for me & my family. Also that if I so wished, I could reduce my nicotine strength on e-cigs which are a lot cheaper than there inhalers.

I asked how they could class me as a smoker when there is no smoke involved & that all the research ( I have done quite a bit) compares nicotine with caffeine so should everybody be cutting down on caffeine and have there consumption noted on medical records? She couldn't really answer this and said she would contact the NHS trust to see how I should be classed & get back to me!!!
The meeting left me feeling very cross that people who should know better don't and really worried about the future of vaping.

I can't imagine not vaping now so need to look seriously at how I can guard against a 'straight jacket' legislation from the EU. Any suggestions?

I think I've caught the shiny bug!!!

I would like more throat hit & after reading posts on here think I might have to go VV. As I'm quite new to vaping, I don't know which one to get or what the difference is.
I'm a bit concerned that I might be like a learner driver with a porche!!!

Some advice would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.
