The only way to know the difference is to feel it. Once I started vaping my lungs felt clearer, I stank less, and spent less. I weened myself off of nicotine by reducing the content down every couple months to nearly nothing then began leaving the vape at home so that I wouldn’t vape at work during breaks. Then spent days forcing myself to do other stuff to distract myself to kick the habit for good.
I wouldnt call it a healthy alternative. In my opinion it’s an avenue to quitting. Disposable vapes are much worse and more addicting which made me falter a bit.
Haven’t touched tobacco or vapes for a few months now.
@Cannibal_MoshpitV3@consciouslyoblivious Honestly, super impressive that you stick with it and kicked the habit. Nice fucking job! Couldn’t have been easy :)
Had a dad who could not quit and I grew up around second hand smoke and hating the smell despite begging him to quit for years.
guys I’m obviously not saying this in context of reddit-lemmy. i’m just asking, please don’t downvote.
Hello, just want to chime in.

You are awesome - well done on kicking it.
Thank you!

Thank you, and yeah the smell arguably was the worst. I grew up around smokers as well
There’s still a core of easily offended people who ended up here on Lemmy. Kinda sad, but that’s humanity.
