I have a friend who has been using an e-cigarette for 10+ years. He doesn’t seem any less addicted to smoking as back when he was using old-fashioned cigarettes.

I understand e-cigarettes are supposed to help you quit… but has anyone actually had success with them? Or, is it more like trading one vice for another?

    You have no idea what you’re talking about and spreading misinformation. I developed brain cancer a while back. Ask the doc if I can vape. She says sure. Year later I can barely walk from the extreme nerve damage cause by the vape. And yes there are reasons why I’m 100% sure it’s the vape. Even Australia has a national ban on them. Yes they did help me to stop smoking but at a steep price. But no lol some random guy on the internet thinks he knows more than doctors, just like the vaccine denialists on Facebook. It would be ironic if it weren’t so fuckin sad.

      I’m sorry you went through that but a temporal link is not causal evidence. There are millions of people convinced MMR vaccine caused their child’s autism too, but it did not.

      Australia does have an extremely wrong-headed approach to vaping. It will kill millions.

        Yea nicotine is harmless lol, it’s almost as if they didn’t get caught lying to congress about that very thing they knew was a lie. And you’re repeating the shit for them, for free. climate change is harmless too. see how fucking stupid that sounds?
