This sort of question always makes me laugh.
I vape, therefore I do not smoke.
The antis' will always be against anything that even remotely resembles smoking, even if it is not. Yet they readily accept other methods of nicotine ingestion as with the gum, patch, or even the prescription inhalers, which are marketed as smoking cessation products.
So one could also say, if the gum, patch or inhaler is so good for quitting smoking then why are you still using it?
I know of a coworker, an engineer that I work closely with, who quit smoking 5 years ago, and he still chews nicorette every day.
The addiction to smoking is one of the hardest physical addictions there is to overcome. So if it means chewing nicorette, sticking on a patch, or vaping an e-Cig, If it keeps a person from inhaling combustibles laced with all kinds of carcinogens, then all the more power to them.
I too continue to vape, because I enjoy it.
But now since the e-Cig and e-liquid has been delcared a tobacco product and will be regulated by the FDA as such, we may soon find that vaping will be considered by law as smoking, and therefore subject to the same no smoking laws that conventional combustible tobacco products fall under. Just sayin'.
Congrats on the two years Mike.
