Vaping problems? / benefits?

[Alvertsky]

Very interesting and I can see the benefits. There would be some challenges with nicotine for women, however. When I first got the ecig they told us that "water, nicotine, and flavoring" were totally safe but failed to mention that nicotine itself is anti-estrogenic, which could be dangerous with women on hormonal treatments (birth control for example) and I would assume for women going through menopause.

So stop smoking, or watch your skin turn to leather

Is this you?

@FluffyYellowDuck Yes, good to remember, indeed.

I guess it's in comparison with cigarettes.

Smoking - whether is vaping or not turns your lungs to leather. So I'd say it mostly bad.

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?)

Always detrimental to personal health. Always. Be it cigarettes, vaping, or even medical marijuana use. Burning toxins inhaled into raw lung and throat tissue is not good for you.
Plus, all those toxins enter the bloodstream immediately because they consumer inhales through the mouth where the lingual veins are located. Those large dark veins under your tongue. This is the intake method for what are called sub-lingual medications or vitamins. The toxins in inhalants fill the mouth, activate the salivary glands, are then absorbed into the oral tissues and transport also through the lingual veins directly to the bloodstream.
And the blood feeds the entire body including the brain. This is why chronic alcoholism 'dumbs down' the alcoholic. And also the chronic smoker. Besides of course impacting the health of the entire body.
You are what you eat. And you are what your bloodstream feeds your body.

DON'T SMOKE!
It's the most stupid habit that exists. No benefits ever. Only detriment.
Ever watched someone die of emphysema? There should be a true to life-death video released as an anti-smoking advert. Talk about education.

Vaping is not smoking. I wish that people who don't understand addiction would be wise enough to do no harm. Ever hear of shame-based addictions? I know...it's sinful pleasure that needs to be repented of, right?

Great video. Who could smoke after that? Or continue to smoke?

@QuickFilly I think the video I just posted is looking at vaping and cigarettes comparatively.

 

[farouk]

Vaping is not smoking.

Sometimes a comparative approach (with smoking) will be different from an absolutist approach...

OK.

 

[farouk]

Personally, I want to stop vaping

@2 Chr. 34:19 So did you quit vaping? or do you still regard it a beneficial intermediate place to be between cigarettes and quitting altogether?

 

[farouk]

@VictoryinJesus So would you find it helpful to vape, if it helped you cut down? (I'm not moralizing; just being practical...)

 

[farouk]

Ever hear of shame-based addictions?

@Truman the Levite I don't believe in guilt-manipulating ppl, and in any case vaping is according to some sources a lot safer than smoking. (Vaping can help some ppl quit smoking, in fact...)

Jesus, I ask that You help Your people with our judgmental attitudes. Remind us all, that at whatever point we break the law, we become guilty of breaking it all, that we are all sinners saved by Your death and resurrection alone. That we are all works in progress!

@Addy FYI....so do you have any thoughts on vaping?
