reallivedinosaur posted:Yes it is.. Quitting smoking is easy. Do you really believe that quitting smoking is a near impossible task, just because the pamphlets that the government forced the cigarette companies to produce say so? Again I don't think it's near-impossible, I just think treating it like "lol suck it up bitch it's easy" is a great way to make sure people fail at it and completely the wrong way to go about this. Statistically, quitting has a success rate of 4% to 7% per attempt cold turkey, 25% with "medications", so just because it was easy for you don't act like other people are just not "trying hard enough" or something, it is legitimately difficult and should be treated the same as any other addiction. reallivedinosaur posted:And quit comparing it to serious addictions with life-threatening withdrawal symptoms. It's not the same thing. whether or not something has life-threatening withdrawal symptoms has no bearing on its addictive potential or ease of quitting mentally. physically obviously you can quit smoking without outright dying but addiction is mostly a mental disease. and gently caress i'm not just talking out of my rear end I was addicted to goddamn amphetamines for a long time and i quit those cold turkey so it's not like i think they're the same thing or something like that.

And let me repeat that none of this is an excuse, nothing I am saying is meant to excuse not trying, just don't act like it's super easy for everyone because it was easy for you and that people who fail are big babies that just need to suck it up. People who fail are addicts who need loving support not ridicule.

Beating a cigarette addiction is not as hard as beating a being a self-righteous human being addiction

I have relatives that quit smoking with Ecigs, oddly enough by going cold turkey but using the fake cigarette vapor to get the sensation of smoking without actually getting nicotine. It's a pretty solid idea since smokers compulsively smoke as a mechanical action, they have done studies where sleeping smokers will try to smoke anything if it is vaguely shaped like a cigarette (I think the study used baby carrots)

The vast majority of vapors don't use any of the above, and even if you do use a regulated device with an internal rechargeable battery it was as much of a chance of exploding as your cell phone

This GBS thread about how vaping is dumb and bad is turning into lots of unironic seriousposts by people who vape and posts by people who ostensibly think it's stupid but still know about stuff like PG/VG ratios is reminding me of other GBS threads about how metal is dumb and bad that usually turn into lots of unironic youtube posts by fans of the music and posts by people who ostensibly think it's stupid but still know the difference between subgenres like black and death metal Anyway my point is I'm listening to metal and "hittin' the vape" and all of GBS secretly thinks I'm pretty cool for it thanks for your support

As a 37 year old man I only ever bothered to know the difference between Doom and Power. Because that's the only kind I won't LOL at while listening to it. Also, I vaped to quit cigarettes and then I quit vaping but I still want to be a flaming homo. Is that ok?

the best part about smoking surely is the amazing high that you get from nicotine - worth any addiction!

the only vape trick ive ever seen that i actually had any respect for is a guy who kept vaping for like an hour straight, but was swallowing the vape smoke instead of inhaling it at the end of his session he let out a mad fart that looked like someone was burning green leaves in his pants

Germstore posted:Don't they use IMR batteries, which are a type of lithium ion battery? That is correct that some do, but the majority of vape stores only sell brands that have been tested and proven and when using them with a regulated device the risks are extremely low As mentioned when you are using a non regulated device (basically a battery with a fire button) you really have to know what you are doing

i don't vape inside unless it's my house or with someone who is ok with me doing it inside of theirs i have an rda because they're fun but i blow away from people unless they are also smokers and are close to me in which case it's a moot point i do not consider vaping a lifestyle, i'm doing it to a) quit smoking and b) because it tastes pretty good hi
