As Marti has already commented, we all have, (and are entitled to) our own opinion, either from experience or watching/hearing about others!
But that's what it IS!!! OUR OWN OPINION! Plus, from our 'perspective'...
It's obvious to me, there are some here who are SO anti smoking, they've forgotten the 'reality' of being addicted!
The WORST non-smokers, (IMO) are those who "lecture" or "alienate" smokers who haven't yet found the courage to quit!!!
Do these same 'judges' frown on parents who give their children burgers and other junk food, or too much sugar?
IMO, NOTHING is as bad as inhaling not only nicotine, (tobacco) but all the gunk, tars, chemicals etc that cigarettes contain!!
and yes! they are HORRIBLY addictive! but the action is also a HABIT, yeah?
We ALL have certain habits, beliefs, morals, etc, often totally different from each other!
It was someone's 'opinion' that "it looks stupid"....
IMO, inhaling a flavoursome vapour (my all time fav is Lemon Meringue Pie), consisting of 80% vegetable glycerine, and 20% propylene glycol is ok... is it "harmless"? I have no idea, and neither does anyone else!!
It needs YEARS of research and results from experiments to determine that!
As for it being a "crutch"....??? I disagree!! It's replacing a habit! a BAD habit...Isn't it better than medication for stress?
IF those who puff think it's relieving the stress, then why not ALLOW them the 'placebo effect'????
What does it matter HOW they relieve their stress... (and we ALL have stress!!!) inhaling, relieves stress, yeah?
If we all steered clear of what was "BAD" for us, the junk food establishments would be empty!! lol! But greasy food with fatty poisons aren't 'addictive' are they? (or ARE they?)
Being FREE at last, is as if my life has been renewed, and NOTHING, will ever ruin my quit!!! I mean NOTHING!!!
I'm SO proud of myself, and given only 2 people know, I couldn't even 'brag'... which is probably why I joined here!!!
I wanted to be "honest" with some like-minded people, on a regular basis, y'know?
I LURVE my Menthol vape in the mornings, with my coffee, but not freezing on the balcony, but here, in the study, chatting to y'all!
For a treat, I'll have some LMP, and I tell you what! It cuts the craving for sweets too!!!
It's NOT a "crutch" lol!!! no more than eating sweets, or running round the block, or joining a gym is! It's just MY WAY of quitting and STAYING QUIT!!!
So, Rob! (don't know how I've missed this thread till now....?)
IMO... go for it, buddy!!! enjoy the flavours, enjoy being FREE of the smell, enjoy having all that extra cash, and do what's right for YOU!!!! xox
