E-Cigs I am about to start. Quitting is the goal

[Nictuku]

43. It depends on the Nicotine

If I am using e-liquid that has zero nicotine, then I think that on medical terms, at least, that I have quit smoking. The carcinogens that you get from inhaling burning smoke are not present in e-cigs.

But if I were using e-liquid that has even low levels of nicotine, I would feel inclined to answer the question to a doctor: Yes, I kind of smoke, in that I do inhale nicotine.

But there is no actual 'smoke' involved, only vapor. So if you want to get into semantics, No, I don't smoke.

I do consider myself still a smoker, since i 'vape' on a daily basis. It has just replaced the cigarets. But I think it is healthier for me than smoking regular cigarettes. It costs less. It doesn't stink up my car. I don't have to go outside to 'vape' (since I didn't smoke in my house). There are a lot of benefits to switching.
