FYI
vapers are all one in the same. We care.
Vapers care about one another as well
as many others. For example, the vapers
also tend to share with others who do
not vape. As vapers, we surely donate
much time, effort and money to vaping
advocacy and to the education of vaping.
In regards to this, countless vapers
donate so much more, whether in the
form of charitable contributions or goodhearted-intentions, vapers certainly
share whatever they can spare to issues

or organizations outside of their own
vape-lifestyle. Many media outlets and
advocacy organizations have already
proven this many times by donating to
war veterans and active-duty servicemen
and women.
This is the first genuinely new way of
helping people stop smoking that has
come along in decades,” said John
Britton, director of the U.K. Center for
Tobacco and Alcohol Studies at the
University of Nottingham, who led the
committee that produced the report.
E-cigarettes, he said, “have the potential
to help half or more of all smokers get off
cigarettes. That’s a huge health benefit,
bigger than just about any medical
intervention” (http://mobile.nytimes.

In hindsight, the major differences
between smoking tobacco and Vaping
nicotine become much more clear, but
for those who still may have doubts, let’s
sum it up by quoting yet another fantastic
article.”Cigarettes do not contain the tar,
carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide,
and thousands of other chemical
compounds found in tobacco products,
and for those trying to wean themselves
from a nicotine habit, it is a potential life
safer”
The differences between Smoking
tobacco and Vaping nicotine are vast,
especially the testimonials of Vapers
when compared to the horror stories
smokers tend to tell us about. For
instance, in a Huffington Post article
written by former-smoker-turned-Vaper,
James di Fiore.
“I come from a long line of smokers on
both sides of my family. When I grew up
it wasn’t uncommon for parents to smoke
in the house, on long car rides and, of
course, in restaurants. Cigarettes were
omnipresent, and by the time I was 15
years old I was a smoker myself, happily
inhaling smoke into a pair of lungs that
had been exposed to second-hand
smoke since childhood” (Fiore 2016).
James di Fiore, writes further, “For 24
years I was a smoker. That’s nearly a
quarter century of inhaling smoke into
lungs that are probably black by now.
But I loved it. I’d start the day with a
smoke and a coffee, and I’d have that
last cigarette at the end of my day” (Fiore
2016).
Fiore’s testimonial in his writing
concludes as he recalls, “When my
partner and I were expecting our firstborn, I finally made the decision that I
was ready to stop smoking. I had tried a
few different strategies by this point but
nothing did the trick. I was still a smoker
when my son arrived, and remained one
until he was a year old. I just couldn’t find
the will power. And then, finally, I found
something that helped me quit for good.
No more need for cigarettes with my
coffee, or that last smoke at the end of
the day” (Fiore 2016).
Overall, I can’t even begin to explain
how many times I’ve heard such riveting
stories from Vapers all around the U.S.,
all I can tell you is that there are so
many lives being changed in the most
positive way. So, if you’re still a smoker,
please take a chance with Vaping either
tomorrow or later today. Whenever I see
a smoker, I don’t turn away, I think of
them as s future fellow Vaper, I hope you
understand what I ultimately mean to
say. Today is the day to choose Vaping
as right side because all of us Vapers
wish for you to come and play. Who
knows? You may just be delighted to
stay.
