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?

      I actually found that ecigs made my lungs feel worse that actual cigarettes, I don’t know if it was popcorn lung or what, but it made my chest feel incredibly tight, and it didn’t matter the juice type/brand or strength. I’ve resigned that sheer will power is the only way I’ll quit.

          Maybe, this was a long time ago. I tried vaping again a couple years ago, and while it wasn’t nearly as bad, it still wasn’t great.
