Do You Vape?

sunala — Sat, 07 Apr 2018 00:45:43 GMT

Tonight I was walking behind a woman who was puffing on an e-cig and the smell was violently gross. I can't imagine inhaling that putrid smell.

I know a couple of people who smoked e-cigs and say they quit smoking thanks to them, which is great. But I also know a woman who never smoked before, but she's been vaping for a few years now. She says they're harmless. How crazy is that?

It kind of makes me wonder how those things can not be harmful. Any thoughts?

@sunala not sure if this is the same thing as I just saw it last night but it seems like there is a concern for teenagers using a product called Juul as it is so small and compact that it can be used in a classroom without the teachers knowing. Goodness how does a product like this be allowed on the market?

Many of the liquids used in these type of 'cigs' contain nicotine and flavor additives that I would consider unhealthy to inhale. It's just not good to inhale things other than plain air.

No. There's new research on how dangerous it is @sunala

No, no, and no. I watched my older brother suffer and die - emphysema aggravated by alcohol. His death was years before vaping became available but vaping has its own dangers. The research is just coming in now that smokers have been using it for a few years.

Yes to get off cigarettes.

No but one of my girlfriends does. I would want to know what's in what I'm vaping.

Some of it on the market has Diacetyl in it just like cigarettes but a lot less of it. It also has less chemicals then cigarettes.

Anyone vaping should look at the ingredients so they know what's in it.

Most of it is 90% Propylene Glycol or 90% Vegetable Glycerin

@SilleeMee

i totally agree with you. But I will add, it can sometimes be a danger to inhale plain air! Lol.

I think additives are not good to the vaping. If someone was going to do it for a short time, and they got off ciggs, then maybe. Individual choice I guess. I quit 35 yrs ago, I chewed that nicorette gum for a month, then finished on my own. That gum was like 35 bucks at the time. For 1985, it was not chump change.

Lol! No! But there have been times when I've been taking my beach walk and thought the people ahead of me were smoking, and I was relieved that they were vaping. I didn't notice a smell.

No, I do not. I got behind someone vaping though, like you. I didn't know what it was. My husband was walking with me. Not sure what kind it was, but surely they all don't smell so bad. No way that could be good for a person.

@shoekitty,

I smoked for 40 years. I quit with Chantix and never went back, not even a relapse. I was one determined soul. Congrats to you for making the journey.

@sunala Yes, but I think it's worse when you are shopping for produce at the grocery store, and a couple is there shopping absolutely reeking of pot.

Or walking behind someone at the mall and they also reek of pot. It's disgusting here in California.

If you smoke fine - that's your choice, but take a shower or let your clothes air out once in a while....and don't subject your children to all the smoke in the car. Talk about self-serving - your children don't have a choice when you choose to smoke in an enclosed vehicle and drive around with your children in the back seat.

I'll take the vaping anytime over the pot smell.

Maybe it was a weed vape, instead of an evape. I think anything you take into your lungs besides fresh air is probably harmful. However, I guess it's a matter of degree here.

I smoked for almost 15 years and quit cold turkey over 30 years ago. I would never vape. I've never seen anyone do it either, but thought I had read it was odorless.

I can't stand smelling it either....

We went to see Opera on Tap, and there was a guy that used 2 of them ,all night long. He brought a towel along to catch the vapor. I guess he needed to to feed his habit?

It didn't look to me like he was using it to break the cigarette habit. He looked totally addicted

I think the jury is still out on what it does to your health

Vaping is not smoking, there are many e liquids that can be vaped, some smell more pungent than others

I use it as a method to get my CBD oil, which helps my fibro and arthritis, I have never vaped in public
