I'm sorry. It's just that, as a vaper, I'm encountering a lot of misinformation (I dont mean from you!) regarding vaping and nicotine. People think it's just as bad as smoking, etc. That isn't the case, but a lot of FUD is being promulgated by forces who stand to lose a lot such as tobacco companies and pharmaceutical industry. Vaping is the one thing shown to actually work for smoking cessation (it worked for me when nothing else would) and England just recently decided to promote it for that purpose. Whereas in many other parts of the world, vaping rights are up in the air or vaping is banned entirely (like in Singapore).
Even if I traded one addiction (smoking) for another, vaping is at least 95% less harmful and I'm not doing further damage to my lungs or anything else. So I believe the topic is pertinent since smoking was brought up in this thread.
