    I quit smoking using a vape and then quit vaping.

    I found that it was easier to quit smoking using a vape because I kept the same motion. I needed a powerful one to feel a similar hit.

    And I found it easier to stop vaping than to stop smoking because I could mix liquids to have any desired nicotine content, allowing me to reduce it very gradually. A lot of people simply replace smoking with vaping but that’s still an improvement.

      A lot of people simply replace smoking with vaping but that’s still an improvement.

      Why/how is it an improvement? They are just moving from one way to consume it to another.

        Because different ways to consume have different health hazards.

        Smoking introduces a lot more chemicals than just nicotine. A lot of health hazards associated with smoking are from the smoke itself, not the nicotine. Vaping allows you to remove the smoke part of the equation. (Vaping also introduces a bunch of hazards on its own, but it’s still overall better than smoking)
