Wes a buddy of mine just had a miner heart attack and swears it was the vape cig. i said it can't be, he said how do you know.............i don't.
just food for thought. congrats on quiting bro, i have been thinking on it more and more lately. it is truely the toughest thing i ever tryed to do.
I resisted vaping for years. A bud of mine swore by it. I smoked Lucky Strike unfilters for a very long time - 20 years or so. After a friend of mine gifted me a set for my BDay, I decided to at least give it a try. I had been trying to quit smoking for a very long time. I am now 3 months without smoking a cigarette - I quit the first week I tried it.
The differences I have noticed so far:
Much better blood pressure. Like 20 pts lower. 128/80VS 148/98. And that was the first month. I just haven't been to the doctor since. It's even better now.
I sleep better and it is easier to wake.
Haven't had a cramp from over-exertion since(I would occasionally get cramps if I smoked a lot and worked a lot).
No more coughing. None.
I can actually taste food now! That was unexpected. Food is entirely different to me now, and I find I like some stuff I used to not.
Much much much more energy.
No more back pain. I used to have constant back pain. It's nearly completely gone. And I can use my back much more than before.
Much better endurance.
I don't smell like an ash tray any more(I now smell more like pistachio ice cream, or strawberry vanilla - my main vapes).
Teeth are slowly getting whiter, and my gums look much better.
And a pack of Luckies is about $10 here. At one point I smoked more than a pac a day here in Ireland(two packs in texas, but they were $2-3 a pack then). So, I am also saving a ton of cash.
I am sorry to hear about yer bud, tho
But it's gonna be a task to try and take my vape away from me. I tried all the cheap crappy ecigs some friends were using. Those are, well, cheap and crappy, and very unsatisfying. What it took for me was getting an iStick 30 and a nautilus mini tank(about a $60 set up):
