Title: Do you smoke or vape?
Post by: metsrock69 on December 09, 2015, 05:07:23 pm
Do you smoke,Vape or use electronic cigarettes? I smoked for a long time but was fortunate to quit before the vape was created.

I have had one cigarette in my life...about thirty years ago. I do have a cigar every four to six months to celebrate small victories.  Unfortunately my sixteen year old son has picked up all kinds of nasty habits. He smokes Marlboros-I am thinking about a pack every ten days. He was vaping for awhile but it got expensive because his equipment kept mysteriously disappearing. He appears to be smoking pot once or twice a week but that has been getting expensive as well...mom and dad are pretty sneaky and he does not hide things the best. We have had the talk with him but he is set in his ways...even with as busy as he is (and we keep him). He seems to have stopped vaping and cut back on the pot since getting a girlfriend.

i don't do any of that stuff. i smoke hookah MAYBE once a year, but that's it. i don't support the tobacco business and try to set an example to others by not doing it.

I quit smoking in April of this year.  I've bummed two cigarettes over the last 8 months, but I consider myself a "former smoker."  Haven't tried the vapor thing and I won't. Just another expense.

None of those. I don't see how steaming or electronic cigarettes would be any healthier than smoking.

I am very thankful to have quit smoking 16 years ago after trying and failing at it several times. I smoked for 32 years before that and was beginning to develop a cough. I feel ever so much better now, it is truly a wonderful thing to have quit.

Absolutely not....... I don't even understand why someone would want too. And, I am so so so angry that it is becoming an epidemic with teens, when their brains are still developing and when long term effects are not even known. If you can't tell, this is a sore subject with me. Sorry yall had to hear me vent a little

No I dont do either.  Vaping is still controversial as to health effects so I wouldn't do it just to try it.

Me too, I quit smoking 6 years ago and can't say one day I regret it. When my husband and I stopped we figured it was a car payment to us. How nice that was. It was over $500 a month we were saving and we stopped waking up with a morning cough, what a plus that was.

I also quit many years ago.  I wish Vaping was not allowed where smoking is not allowed.  I don't trust the second hand smoke from the vaper

I do not, but I see a lot of college students vape... The IEEE building that me and my group usually resides on to work on the senior project, have mostly all of the IEEE students that vape... The room smells pretty good with the vape (maple syrup), but I never care for these types of stuff

Vape is an alternative to smoking and not as unhealthy as smoking cigarettes. also the smell a vape lets out is different scented smells.

Before my time, nearly and not all, It was the thing to do. I knew people that smoked has died in their 60s, only 2 has continued with the smoking and they are in their 90s. I smoked when I was a child through my teens and stopped when I was about 23. The diseases involved are soooo expensive, you need to have at least $100,000.00 in your bank account so you can smoke or vape. The tobacco plant is an medicinal herb and needs to be respected. I have never seen the list of over 7,000 chemical combos that is the mix to make the smoke that would make a cool poster agreed.

I've tried both but I am not a big fan of doing either.  Vaping seems like the next big thing.

I only smoked once in my life and hated it.  Plus that is a lot of money to throw away on a bad habit.

I don't smoke, but my GF used to smoke (about a pack a day). Then this year for her birthday, she bought herself an e-cig and vaping solutions in an attempt to quit. At first, the flavor she chose was similar to Marlborough cigs, and the nicotine levels were fairly high; she wanted to move off of cigs without much change in anything else. As "backup" she also got a solution of mocha coffee flavor with slightly less nicotine, however she only used the Marlborough solution for a few days before that became the backup and the mocha became her go-to. A few weeks after that, we went to the shop together and she had me pick different nicotine levels for the 2 new solutions she was buying (this time, much more different choosing fruit flavors that had nothing to do with her smoking habit); she wanted me to secretly chose the nicotine levels so that she wouldn't know how much she was smoking. The solution that had the most nicotine that time around was less than half of her mocha. A month after that, she bought some solutions that were just flavoring (no nicotine) and shortly thereafter, she quit completely and has been smoke-free (of either type) for close to 6 months now.

Aside from the money savings and health impact (she says her senses of taste and smell have drastically improved), the one thing she noticed was her addiction behaviors. She no longer has to search her house for a pack of cigs and a lighter before she heads out, nor does she stress if she's out working without the smoking accoutrements.

Smoke. Trying to quit though. Maybe that will be my New Years Resolution, to finally kick the bad habit.

I don't do either and I don't understand either. Okay, so it "calms nerves", but so does working out (which is healthy for you). Smoking makes you age quicker, makes you run out of breath and kills you...vaping is unproven and has potentially more dangers than smoking does. I just don't understand why someone would even start.
