What Do You Think Of Vaping For Fun?

For everyone to stop smoking, it's going to take longer than a while I think, because even though vaping is becoming more and more popular, people seem still intent on buying cigarettes also, that's what I've noticed here in the UK anyway.

 

Exactly, the problem is when people start comparing vaping to smoking and trying to put vaping on the same level as the sticks, it's just not the same. Bothers me to no end, but if society were smarter, this would have all been over long ago

 

A lot if it isn't necessarily society needing to be smarter as such, I just think that society needs to be educated more as to what vaping actually is.

They see the similarities between smoking and vaping rather than the differences.

 

I only advise vaping to people who want to quit smoking. I wouldn't take up vaping as a hobby, or fun activity.

 

Yeah why would someone. I don't think it would make much of a hobby. I can think of a lot better things to do.

 

Vaping is classed as a hobby to some people and they'll have alsorts of mods and try out custom liquids and things like that, even though it's not something that I personally are interested in.

The majority of people will vape to try and quit smoking, but if people turn it in to a hobby that's up to them I guess.

 

I can't understand why people would turn it into a hobby. I guess it's like some pipe smokers I guess. They also consider it a hobby. Each to their own.

 

That is because there are more similarities that differences between these two habits, even if you want to admit it or not, vaping as a habit it's still a pretty bad one and should be as stigmatized as smoking is because it's still an addiction, even though it might not harm yourself and the others around as bad as smoking.

 

What I don't understand is why you come on a forum that's promoting vaping but then go on to say that we're all addicts and vaping is as bad as smoking cigarettes and needs to be stigmatized.

If a person is using 0% nicotine liquids, then how is that as bad as smoking a cigarette? Is it as bad if an habit as watching TV, playing video games or eating to much sugar? How bad of a bad habit is it?

 

I come here in order to find support, in order to find help and to help others. Many have fallen into the trap the believe that vaping is not dangerous, well my friend, it really is. You just talked about 0%nicotine liquid like it is widely used by everybody, let's face it, there's a percent so low of people using 0%nicotine liquid, that it doesn't even matter. Vaping nicotine and smoking it it's still an addiction, I don't see why people won't accept this fact, if you vape 0 nicotine, congratulations to you, you achieved something great but there virtually no reason for you to continue vaping on a daily basis as there shouldn't be any more addiction.

 

I do it for fun nowadays. It was initially a transition to get away from the cigarettes. Now it's purely recreational. I like the flavor, and the cloud that I can make with my piece. I try to keep it at a minimum. Maybe one day I'll give it up all together.

 

We'll my aim is to get down to 0% nicotine, but I'll probably keep on vaping, as I'm sure there are a lot of people that will.

You're right that there will be others that can't seem to quit the habit totally, and will always bees that bit of nicotine in their lives, but even that's better for you than smoking a cigarette?

It's like saying that there's no point in switching from cigarettes to vaping, as they're both as bad as each other for you. Is that what you're saying? So should I just bin the vaping and go back on the 20 cigarettes a day?

 

Do not twist my words, I never said that there's no point in quitting cigarettes and switching them with vaping, as it's been proved to be a lot healthier and a lot cheaper also. I was simply saying that we shouldn't think about vaping as being something safe and normal, because it isn't, and because maybe most of the vapers suggest that thing, some might fall into the trap to believe that there are no risk and that vaping isn't an addiction, when, at least as long as there is nicotine, it clearly is.

I wish you the best of luck with going to 0 nicotine liquid, but after that, I guess that it will be you that will think there's no point in vaping anymore, as there will be no high, probably you'll still vape some 0 nicotine liquid from time to time, like special occasions.

 

I'm not trying to twist your words what I'm trying to say though is that people will think about switching to vaping to help quit their addiction to cigarettes, but if they read that all they're doing is replacing one addiction with another, they'll think twice and stick to cigarettes, and I don't want people to think that.

While nobody of course can oil into the future, but I doubt there will be people dying of lung cancer from vaping like people do from smoking cigarettes. With that in mind, yes, I agree that even though vaping could still be classed as an addiction, it's safer than smoking cigarettes. That's all I'm trying to say.

 

I guess that finally we came to a consent, I don't think I've stated anywhere that vaping is not a healthier addiction than smoking is, but in the end it's definitely an addiction and I believe that to be the thing that society stigmatize about it. Of course it's better to quit smoking for vaping, it's a lot less harmful and cheaper in the long run, but I also want to try and make people understand that if you did quit for vaping, it doesn't mean you are safe just so, magically, you are still hurting your body, of course, the damage is a lot decreased, but it still exists.
