Hello, just want to chime in.

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.

You are awesome - well done on kicking it.

@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.

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.
