I disagree. The vast majority of ex smokers who vape use them as a replacement for fags, not as a method to give up completely. They then fall off the nicotine waggon and start smoking again. I started smoking at sixteen, and gave up completely when I was 21. Never touched one since. To me, ecigs are to smokers what methadone is to junkies. Your mates are still chugging away on their vapes, I would guess. Have many, any, given them up?
But lots of people use them rather than smoking, and even if they do go back at some time, even that is a small step forward that can hopefully be repeated in the future.
Several of my mates have tried everything, but the vape is helping them stop nicotine intake, and for that I thank the Lord for vaping.
I just wish they had arrived before smoking killed my mum.
