    Going from Smoking to Vaping to nothing is much easier than going from Smoking to nothing.

    I personally try to do one or the other and not both. If I do both I feel like I just have two addictions! It's like my dad, when he quits smoking he'll pick up something like chewing sunflower seeds. Then when he goes BACK to smoking he's addicted to the sunflower seeds to. Don't need to burden myself with more addictions!

    It took me quite awhile to be able to completely quit smoking cigarettes after I got my first e-cigarette. First I think it was an issue of committing to becoming a non-smoker. Once I did that I was down to only smoking 1 or 2 cigarettes a day for a couple weeks. Personally, this was the worst 2 weeks! It was like a kind of self-torture to not give up the smokes but spend all day thinking about the 1 I would allow myself. I'm much happier only vaping, and I can't even stand the smell of burning cigarettes now!

    Fortunately, there are more and more people vaping so that isn't as common as it was some time back, but I can see how someone that normally vapes would have a cigarette instead.

    I actually do that too. I'm starting to quit smoking to maintain the vaping only. but it's a gradual thing, I'm slowing down at first, so i still smoke both.

    Vaping is getting more and more popular and now it's not uncommon to see a few people at least in a smoking area vaping or stood with an e-cig.

    Of course the more people that do it, the more others will start to notice and the more popular it will become.

    Yes, in the past vaping would attract the wrong sort of attention. I think that people are accepting it more now then what they did say a year back.

    I have completely given up on cigarettes. Yes, the first few days and weeks, it can be awkward to vape when everyone's smoking. Like I said, I alternated between smoking and vaping back then. But there were times that I was vaping and they were smoking. There's not much that I can do since I really do want to quit cigarettes for good and changing my routine would mean that my habit would stay on for longer. That's why I tried to stuck with it despite the challenges.

    Right now, I don't smoke cigarettes anymore. I would suggest for him to stop hanging out with them when they're smoking especially if he cannot handle the pressure. He can vape anywhere anyway, so it isn't much of a problem for him. I would also suggest for him to still try and gradually taper his smoking. Eventually, he will get there and be able to quit it completely.

    Good luck to your friend!

    I myself aim to get down to 0 cigarettes and then when I've achieved that, that's when I'll start to try and reduce my nicotine level in the liquids.

    It might take some time as I've been smoking that long, but I never thought I'd be down to 1 or 2 cigarettes a day either, but thanks to vaping that's what I am.

    Cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, oral cancer, throat cancer. If you are really itching for a smoke, why not try vaping? It is a much safer alternative, you get the thrill of smoking without the negative side effects.

    Funny how you said "if you are really itching for a smoke" and then "why not try vaping", maybe because someone it's itching for a smoke and not for a "vape"?
    Just a little more to go until you can consider yourself an ex smoker, keep going! Also, I would recommend you allow yourself a period of accommodation between trying to lower the nicotine in the liquid, maybe about 3 to 6 moths so your body become used to that level of nicotine.

    Well at the moment I'm on a very low percentage of nicotine on the vape, during the day but I'm keeping my morning and night time cigarettes. (As they're the ones I enjoyed the most) and this seems to be working well for me at the moment.

    We all have to find out own way of cutting down and quitting though.
