I have a friend who has been using an e-cigarette for 10+ years. He doesn’t seem any less addicted to smoking as back when he was using old-fashioned cigarettes.

I understand e-cigarettes are supposed to help you quit… but has anyone actually had success with them? Or, is it more like trading one vice for another?

  • Not OP, but… Every vaper I’ve ever talked to on Reddit claimed they used them to quit. Every vaper I know IRL just likes the taste and “blowing big clouds” like they have the mind of a toddler.

      Speaks more to your social circle and probably your age. I used vapes to quit. And then my state effectively banned them, so I went back to cigarettes.

      I am addicted to nicotine, and that was fine when there was a legal way for me to get nicotine without carcinogens.
