    The rise of vapers in the UK has led to the decrease in smokers. Vaping on e-cigarettes has a few risks - especially if nicotine is still used although this can be reduced over time, but smoking is a lot more dangerous and far worse and has even higher risks.

    We also have free Stop Smoking support and counselling clinics in the UK to support and help people with quitting, and people can be medically prescribed free nicotine patches and free inhalators and cartridges on the UK's National Health Service which produce no smoke and no vapour.

    I buy my own inhalators and cartridges and patches from pharmacies. The patches are like invisible plasters that are worn on the skin, such as on the inner arm. They help to reduce nicotine addiction (but vaping is also helpful in reducing the addiction) and the inhalators help with the hand-to-mouth habit.

    Also smoking is an expensive habit compared to the amount of money that is saved in vaping as a healthier substitute and alternative to smoking. Smoking is like money being burned and going up in smoke.

    I don't get strong nicotine cravings from vaping and can go for long periods without vaping at all. Vaping doesn't deliver nicotine to the bloodstream as effectively as the amount of nicotine delivered through smoking, so vaping gradually weans people off their nicotine addiction.

    UK Government Department of Health finding: E-cigarettes around 95% less harmful than tobacco estimates landmark review
    https://www.gov.uk/government/news/e...andmark-review

    We're lucky to have all this help and modern devices available to people today, as 50 years ago when the smoking rate was 50% of the nation, people unfortunately didn't have all the 21st century help available to them and died prematurely.

    E-cigarettes have had a good success rate in helping people to quit smoking in the UK, and the UK government's Department of Health is considering allowing doctors to prescribe smoking addicts with free e-cigarettes on the National Health Service with counselling support as a method to quitting.

    A man shows his chest x-ray pictures after quitting smoking and switching to vaping for 3 years.


    Vaping is much cleaner than smoking. (Tar in cigarettes causes a yellow staining to the teeth, nails, and on discoloured ceilings and walls.)

    Very interesting, thanks for these videos. I've been looking to quit smoking with vaporizers for a time now...haven't took the jump yet.

    What's stopping is that most quit smoking guides aren't talking about vaping, only found 1, which advocates as the most effective way to quit (https://www.herbonaut.com/quit-smoking/).

    But even the article says you need to really take care of your liquid that you're vaping as some could be even worse than smoking.

    I'm still reading a lot of studies to see if there's any reason not to replace smoking with vaping.

    Smoking (cannabis preferably) by elimination. And even then I prefer vaporization. I don't drink. Even in social situations I avoid it when I can.

    I don't know if it is the same than smoking but I prefer vaping than smoking and drinking.

    Both in moderation, usually red wine and pipe tobacco.

    Drinking but only occasionally.
    Smoking is a terrible habit.

    Drinking is fine, if you have the ability to control yourself. Smoking is repulsive. I like the odd special cake and biscuits too.

    I rarely do both, but smoking something like weed is far better for you than drinking alcohol

    The Albanians, these tigers of mountain wars ... have as their religion rebellion. Even their worst warrior is one of the strongest and bravest on the battle-field, just as if he was a knight on the legendary horse. But he has no horse, nor proper weapons for battle. Instead of the horse, he has a lance which strikes as lightning, he has spears who's points are full of posion as the sting of hornets, he has also a wooden bow with some arrows. Furthermore, he is stronger than iron ...
