(600 posts)are able to quit smoking because of vaping. I am now 2+ years smoke free due exclusively to vape. I had tried everything, and I do mean everything, that was available for smoking cessation and nothing stuck. While it can be argued that vaping is not the perfect solution, the substantial drop in harm as compared to smoking is hard to deny.
Now, for those of you that hate smoking here are some of the benefits to you. I don't stink of tobacco when I get into the elevator with you after popping out for a vape. Unless you are next to me you won't smell anything, unlike the smell of smokes you get from 100 yards away. No second hand smoke. And arguably the most important, a much smaller drain on healthcare resources as a result of smoking.
Of course none of that matters if you think nicotine addiction is a matter of a moral character flaw that deserves some form of punishment and deprivation as part of the process of redemption.
