No I've never vaped, but I did try a cigarette when I was a teenager. I never had another one as I decided it wasn't for me.

I don't smoke or vape. I can't even stand to be near cigarette smoke.

Never smoked cigarettes in my life, but I know a lot of people who managed to give up due to vaping. I think vape shops like [url=https:[/url] have more pros than cons: vape is safe, contains no harmful chemicals, it is socially acceptable and is really able to help with killing nicotine addiction. If I was a smoker, I would definitely switch to vaping.

Probably dead from COPD or lung cancer.

I've never smoked or vaped. I've never slit my wrists, hanged myself, or put a bullet through my brains, either.

I've never tried ANY form of suicide, for that matter.

Have not, will not and never will.

I can see reason for using them for MJ products but that's not my thing nor interest.

I hear some people have had good luck using them to help them quit smoking so I'll give them that. Otherwise it's only slightly less gross than your regular cigarettes.

Dumb question: why would someone w/ASD (or anyone) smoke? I mean it's addictive, it smells bad (and yes I've smelled vaping before, doesn't mean I wanna f**k up my health being around it), it harms your health and those around you and it can kill you (both my mom and grandfather smoked and the former died of lung cancer). Also re: the odor of regular tobacco anyway, when I'm around someone who's smoked, I can smell it in the air, on their clothes, the worst is being trapped in a confined space w/someone who's done that

I have an NT friend who once said to me "smokers should be shot on sight". Now I don't share that view, but honestly if you wanna relax w/some kinda substance, why not alcohol or something? At least then you don't f**k up other people's health too. And in a way vaping is worse b/c it's deceptive, both in the way f*****g tobacco companies market it to minors as some kinda cool, nice smelling thing and b/c you (again) expose others to the same crap they put in that or any other kind of tobacco product. I've never touched tobacco, never will and just don't see the point of anyone doing it. Just stop already!

And to those posting that vaping isn't a harmful tobacco product, I call bs on you. You're wrong, there have been plenty of studies documenting that and continued use of the nicotine in it can kill you (and those around you) just as easily as a cigarette or other form of tobacco can. Please get your science straight.

This is another one of those threads that has been resurrected multiple times. I'd respond to the op but I don't think he's on the boards anymore.

Not yet, but I would like to very much. Seems like it is better to begin with a special [url=https://-t[/url] , otherwise it can become a real mess to gather all the necessary devices and accessories. I read tons of info already and seems like vaping is really safe (unlike smoking for example).

I tried quitting smoking several times, but unfotunately started again. What really works for me is vaping. I find my vape pen to be helpful as I haven't smoked any nicotine cigarette since I've started vaping. By the way, if someone wants to find out more about vaping, I recommend to check a community of vapers on

Vaping is still inhaling a substance into the lungs so I don't see how it could be harmless.

Ive been vaping for 7 years now, before i smoked about 40 cigarettes a day, regularly smoked dokha too.
While i certainly dont think vaping is completely safe, i do not believe it is anywhere near as dangerous as tobacco.
Plus i dont stink of smoke now, which is good. its also far far cheaper. Because i make my own liquids, it costs me about £40 a year in liquids. I used to spend that every week on tobacco. The cost of new coils is almost negligible. that £40 a week now goes on my son and his days out.

No and I likely never will try it. COPD runs in my family and have killed several of my family members (father, grandfather, uncles, aunts, cousins). Knowing this, why would I want to risk it by breathing in chemicals that can cause this condition? Unfortunately, my sister still smokes and will eventually go that route too.

Lately, there have been news reports of people dying from vaping issues. Basically it causes the lungs to fill up with fluid to the point that they stop breathing. Not a good way to die. I do not know if the reported victims were vaping commercially purchased stuff or something else. Either way, it can do known damage to your lungs over time.

It does have a good use: to get cigarette smokers away from tobacco in the quitting process. Tobacco smoke is full of carcinogens. However It is easy for them to become addicted to the vaping as the nicotine liquid is in a more concentrated form. It is not harmless by any means.
