I switched off cigarettes for vaping and I mix my own juice so I've been able to reduce the nicotine amounts to arbitrarily low values. The verdict is still out as to whether this will be better for me but my bipolar disorder is helped by the nicotine so I'm not willing to give it up entirely.

Aye I tried that too. Just ended up compensating with a lot more vaping. Sucking down those clouds until I got that buzz. My throat did not like it at all.
 
I have to separate myself from the vape for parts of the day or else I puff non-stop. :(
 
I actually found high nicotine juice easier to moderate. Then I could quickly get my nic fix then put the vape pen back in a drawer or something. But it's not a great habit and my throat doesn't like it. Snus comes with similar issues so that's not great either. So I guess it's time.
 
Smoking has been linked to poor vision for a while now, so if you're at all concerned about your sight, that would be another good reason to quit.
 
By now, isn't cigarettes linked to pretty much everything that sucks? But like I said I don't touch cigarettes and haven't done so for a long time.

This pretty much explain why I gotta plus now, even though I'm not yet that old (mid 30s). Especially when I wake up in the morning, I cannot read something even quite clear. Still not using my glasses though

I smoke from 10 years old (my parent anger doesn't intimidated me enough to stop behind them), now I'm 2 pack a day.

I don't know which part of smoking specifically attacks your sight, but if it's the nicotine, just cutting out the fags won't help.

That's a pretty big if as there are more than 7000 chemicals in cigarette smoke. Cigarettes really is an impressively harmful product. Other nicotine products are pretty tame in comparison. But that's not to say that there aren't good reasons to quit those as well.

Reducing nicotine content works pretty well for me, until I remember that now that I've lowered my tolerance I can get a nice high if I switch from 3mg/ml to 12mg/ml.
It has almost become a regular cycle.

Afaik nicotine itself is the least harmful substance in cigarettes. The only negative effect I notice from vaping is sometimes high blood pressure.
My main motivation for quitting is that it cost me about 50€ a month, but that's an acceptable price to pay for being somewhat less crazy.

Yeah, we use the same compounds as pesticides. It's just that humans can take larger doses and will pay you for it.

Oddly enough, smoking actually is linked to a decreased risk of Parkinson's Disease. It's probably not a good idea to start smoking for that reason though.
 
Interesting, I wonder how that works. I guess everything is good for something if you look close enough.
 
Something about it having "neuroprotective" effects. A lot of it's a little over my head though.
 
So, no need to worry about Parkinson's while you die of lung cancer. Awesome.
 
I always wondered if it might be because people who smoke are more likely to die of cancer or other nasty things before the symptoms of PD start to manifest.
 
I'd think they'd take that into consideration and adjust the results appropriately but IDK.
 
...just cutting out the fags won't help.

Tell that to Oscar Wilde or Alan Turing...



Bit surprised that that word isn't in the autocensor list.
 
There's no need to be tasteless.
