The reason I ask is this very strange article in the Globe and Mail https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-when-will-canada-get-on-the-same-page-about-the-risks-of-vaping/ that claims among other things that : Moreover, the evidence does not support industry’s claims that vaping leads to smoking cessation. In a systematic review, The Lancet Respiratory Medicine reported that the odds of quitting cigarettes were 28 per cent lower in those who used e-cigarettes compared with those who did not: “As currently being used, e-cigarettes are associated with significantly less quitting among smokers.” A review of all relevant studies published in the U.S. Annual Review of Public Health also stated that “these results suggest that e-cigarettes are contributing to the tobacco epidemic by attracting smokers who are interested in quitting but reducing the likelihood of those smokers to quit successfully.” I took one puff of my fist vape machine, and never lit another cigarette...never wanted to. Am I the only one in that case ? I find that hard to believe. Working...

Vapor Verified JoinedApr 2013 Posts 26261 Reviews 154 Kudos21051	+4 details Me until this year... After contracting pneumonia this winter. a half a year has passed and I still have not fully recovered and can no longer vape... Yet I can puff the occasional cigar...

It is time we stop accepting the things we cannot change, and start changing the things we cannot accept... Working...

VapeRRT Verified JoinedAug 2019 Posts 50 Reviews 24 Kudos28	+6 details I have, tried quitting cold turkey several times. Never really took till I tried vaping. Took about a month or 2 using both cigarettes and vape. Then I just completely switched. On a side note patients I have worked with have said sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. For the ones that it hasn't usually they say things like they had a bad flavor or its a lot of money for a better setup. Working...

philipvdb Verified JoinedJun 2016 Posts 2866 Reviews 43 Kudos4559	+7 details It's all about being ready mentally. I go 3 times a year to the states. Where i live, ecigs are not available. So a couple of months before travelling, I started doing research and decided that during my next trip I would stop smoking. The first thing i did was go to a vape shop, bought a vape and never looked back. We can't agree on everything. Working...

Turned out to be just that, a shadow, but I went out to a shop, paid 180.00 for a sigelei 213, a crown 3, and a 60ml bottle of horrible menthol juice. Never gone back.. But aquonking, rdas,and dessert juices solidified it. What does he mean when he says words? Working...
