@Josho Thanks for your vote. As regards possible benefits, some ppl find vaping helps them quit cigarettes. Did you ever find it of benefit in any way; or maybe you never vaped?

Never vaped never smoked, a few kids did it for fun though during my last couple years at school. Some young ones have even vaped shishas.

@Josho No need to start, right?

Nope no need at all.

 

[farouk]

Nope no need at all.

@Josho Sounds good, anyway... For those already on cigarettes, it might prove to be a means of quitting them, though.

@farouk unfortunately some kids now do things like chroming and inhaling nangs aka nitrous oxide gas bulbs.

@Josho Unfortunately, yes.

So there is a lot of discussion about vaping; some find it highly problematic; others find it beneficial (helping to quit cigarettes, etc.). This is a topical subject these days which has not been discussed lately on the forums.

(Comments/thoughts?)

Vaping in Australia just might be far more beneficial for the consumer who needs to find an alternative to packet cigarettes. (Since the Australian government has increased a general packet of 20 cigarettes to $25)

@Entanglement Oh, yes; I'm sure all that tax concentrates the mind wonderfully...

It would if I knew what you were saying. (My name is Forest, Forest Gump)

@Entanglement This indeed has been the experience of one of the posters, above; she strongly advocates its benefits in the way you indicate.

I find it interesting also that in the poll results so far, respondents have already given a rather wide variety of answers about the benefits or otherwise of vaping.

‘She usually ask because she wants to go outside with me but will wait till I come back, if that is where I am going.

@VictoryinJesus Oh okay; so she's already learned at her age while gramma does it to wait before going outside with gramma...

I didn't say that.

 

[farouk]

I didn't say that.

Well, okay...

Hi @Rita Any wisdom / poll vote on vaping?

 

[farouk]

@Devin Wintch FYI, did you see this recent thread and poll also?

 

[farouk]

Hi @VictoryinJesus Best wishes for your quitting efforts, but don't beat yourself up; really, no need to.

Did you see / vote in the poll, above?

 

[farouk]

as you may know...I’m a smoker.

@VictoryinJesus Quit if you can, but it's not a stigma.

Or if other ppl still try to make it a stigma for you, it ought not to be.

Before the American Civil War, it was very widespread for women to smoke after church, and it certainly wasn't a stigma then. But very best wishes for your quitting efforts.

 

[farouk]

I have smoked since I was sixteen years old.

@VictoryinJesus Back a bit you said this. I do find that your various posts - including very recent ones - are among the most consistently spiritually minded and Scriptural of all the contributors. So a word of kind (if unrequested) advice: don't beat yourself up; quit if you can, but don't get into self-stigmaizing. Yours in Christian fellowship to you and dh.

Any more poll votes, ppl? the poll still has a few weeks to run...
