"Does anyone else think that if you vapoures your still classed as a smoker cause I don't class myself as a smoker yes there is still smoke that comes from it but it's not from a cig what's people thoughts on it " Yes: you inhale chemicals into your body and the most selfish "vapers" exhale all that crap over other people - the worst is when you see them stood outside in a public area and you see fuck huge clouds of chemicals being breathed out. I've seen clouds of crap being breathed out reaching 8-10 metres away. Absolutely yes, it's still smoking. And it's still bad for you. And it's still selfish when you do it over other people. | |||

"The reason I don't like to meet smokers is because of how they smell and taste. People that vape don't have that. You can get nicotine free ones. You are inhaling steam with flavoured liquid so it isn't smoking. It's like calling me a smoker because everyday I take an inhaler. Or when I'm all stuffed up I put oils in hot water and inhale all the steam. That is just like vaping. So no as a non smoker I would not call someone that vape a smoker. The steam from them has no affect on my lungs what so ever and it really doesn't bother me at all. " Yet I've found with capers I can get a weird taste from them I've always been a non smoker so maybe I'm more sensitive to the difference, but kissing a vapour isn't half as bad as a smoker. | |||

"I'm totally shocked at the ignorance on this subject. For those who talk about inhaling chemicals with vaping...go and do some fucking research. 4 ingredients. FOUR! For fucks sake. And except nicotine they are ALL found in food anyway! Plus, there are studies which suggest nicotine itself is beneficial to your health. For those who ask how much money vaping costs i'll tell you from my perspective. I used to spend circa £50 a week on tobacco. I now spend a maximum of £5 a week on vaping. If I choose to have a less expensive, less unhealthy, less disgustingly stinky habit, who the fuck are you to tell me i'm childish?! Get off your high horses and you grow up! " As with standardised food labels the producers of the products don't have to list the ingredients that they "may contain" and a lot of studies found to find other things hidden in them that weren't listed as an ingredients as the could be reasons explained away as "accidental cross contamination" because the results found different things in the odd vapour products, when same brands and flavours were examined. I have a daughter that as a Cows milk protein allergy and these things happen with some foods where products don't say on the packaging (as they are not legally required to) they may contain milk, but when your child as a reaction and you contact the manufacturer they then say that yes it's a may contain product. So from that prespective to say read the ingredients it's safe is fairly naive. Also with e-cig it's the nano particles that are inhaled that settle on your lungs that can cause issues especially if the person has an exsisting lung condition or in the case of some smokers that have converted to them, they have already weakened their chest from smoking in the first place Of course all these studies are considered to be "comparable" unfortunately e-cigs haven't been around long enough to have evidence of the long term effects as of yet. From a psychology stand point you can argue that they aren't really that good for you on the level that you've just swapped one addiction for another, which isn't considered an healthy trait to do, but it is a typical trait represented in many recovering addicts. Not that I'm calling you an recovering addict just giving some prespective from another angle | |||

"I just don't want it puffed over me - you can tell yourself it isn't harmful as much as you want - but I choose not to smoke or vape - so I don't want to inhale it.

As with standardised food labels the producers of the products don't have to list the ingredients that they "may contain" and a lot of studies found to find other things hidden in them that weren't listed as an ingredients as the could be reasons explained away as "accidental cross contamination" because the results found different things in the odd vapour products, when same brands and flavours were examined. I have a daughter that as a Cows milk protein allergy and these things happen with some foods where products don't say on the packaging (as they are not legally required to) they may contain milk, but when your child as a reaction and you contact the manufacturer they then say that yes it's a may contain product. So from that prespective to say read the ingredients it's safe is fairly naive. Also with e-cig it's the nano particles that are inhaled that settle on your lungs that can cause issues especially if the person has an exsisting lung condition or in the case of some smokers that have converted to them, they have already weakened their chest from smoking in the first place Of course all these studies are considered to be "comparable" unfortunately e-cigs haven't been around long enough to have evidence of the long term effects as of yet. From a psychology stand point you can argue that they aren't really that good for you on the level that you've just swapped one addiction for another, which isn't considered an healthy trait to do, but it is a typical trait represented in many recovering addicts. Not that I'm calling you an recovering addict just giving some prespective from another angle " E-cigarettes have been in existence longer than I have. And at 9-450 times safer than tobacco, i'll take my chances. | |||

It contains nicotine, (yes I know nicotine free liquids exist but most don't use them because nicotine is the point of vaping for most), and propylene glycol. Vapour can also contain formaldehyde, and volatile organic compounds. The water vapour itself can also be harmful, as pointed out, because it's released as very fine droplets. A study on mice showed inhaling vapour regularly increased the susceptibility to respiratory infections. Because we're exposed to noxious fumes on a daily basis doesn't mean we should be happy to breathe more potentially harmful substances when there should be no need to. | |||

" So because air pollution exists it's ok to force more onto people? Anyone choosing to leave their house is consenting to breathe potentially harmful vapour? Otherwise they'd stay home? Leaving the house for most people isn't a choice. People need to work and such. Because they choose to have a life doesn't make it ok to force your vapour on them. Smokers used to use the same arguments. "If you don't want to breathe smoke, don't go to the pub" etc. It's selfish. Why should the person not polluting the air and harming others be the one expected to stay home? | |||

And those studies have been roundly de-bunked as flawed, unscientific, and in many cases the press has reported "findings", that have not been published. As ever, when there are competing agendas, finding the truth can be difficult. But some facts:- All organic smoke contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) which are carcinogenic, the chief offender being Benzo alpha pyrene (BAP). It's not tobacco per-se, it could be lettuce or alfalfa. Wood and coal smoke are both extremely high in BAP and you might want to think about that at your next barbecue or bonfire. E-liquid is generally either or both, propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. Both are in many foods, mouthwashes etc. and considered safe chemicals for human consumption. Propylene glycol is used to make theatre/club/gig dry ice. There are people who work in this environment every day - so there's your test group for passive inhalation. The two biggest worries for me, apart from the purity of the base ingredients are the flavourings - diacetyl being the worst, and the quality of the coils. Diacetyl is used in popcorn and prolonged exposure causes a lung condition known as popcorn lung. The coils are typically nickel chromium (nichrome) wire. If heated too high, or if dry burned with a high powered battery, nano particles of nickel and chromium find their way in to the vapour. The studies that found these particles were de-bunked as having used excessively high power on nearly dry coils. One such study decided themselves that their results were rubbish and so did not publish, but the press widely reported it anyway. Organic smoke (not just tobacco) contains around 2000 known carcinogens. E-liquid vapour contains none, unless the vaping device is used outside of it's design parameters. Many people have an irrational knee jerk reaction, just because it looks like smoking. One person I know started waving their arms around saying it should be banned - I hadn't even activated it, I was just resting it in my mouth as one does with a pen. So yes, in my case it's a substitute, but all my researches to date strongly indicate a far less un-healthy one. Many people I know have used a vaper successfully to transition off cigarettes and vaping altogether. Of course others have a right not to be enveloped in a cloud of vapour, but to class it as smoking, is by definition, incorrect. | |||

"... It's not a moral superiority thing, it's a stop kidding yourself you're not still addicted to the habit of smoking, thing. And if you're addicted to the habit, you're a smoker. Except the fundamental terminology is wrong - there's no smoke, ergo, it cannot be smoking. I'm happy to be called a vaper, I've not had a cigarette for 5 years, so I'm not a smoker. If you're using the capita containing nicotine you will always be a smoker in at least medical terms my friend was shocked to discover that she had to be classified as a smoker on her medical notes because she capes nicotine, which can be harmful to the babies development " * vapours not capita give up with this phone today | |||

"It's annoying! Big clouds of sherbet lemon flavored stuff pumped all over you from people who think it's harmless because it isn't a fag! The sheer amount of vapour or whatever it is that comes out of some of them is enough to make your eyes water! As an ex smoker I agree that it's a great tool to help you give up disgusting ciggies - but to claim it's harmless and continue to puff it over everyone in public places is annoying! But its not being used as a way to stop, they're still addicted, they still have the smoking habit. " Yes that's the shame of it - great way to get off fags, but as an ex-smoker it seems madness to me not to use it to wean off altogether, its still a controlling habit that takes a great deal of time, effort and expense to maintain. The point of giving up to me was to be FREE of ALL of that. | |||

"I'm not offended by smokers or vapers, I meet and have met both. I'm not judging or asserting any sort of superiority. I'm just saying they are kidding themselves to suggest it's not the same addiction and the same habit. It's like one alcoholic who only drinks vodka claiming they're totally different to another who only drinks cider. " Perhaps, in the interest of the modern politically correct society, the term smoker should be replaced with nicotine addict which is then in arguable | |||

The regulations should expand out to food items too, before joining slimming world and starting to really learn about food I never realised the "fat free" products aren't always very healthy for you as though they don't contain fat they are high in sugars, knowing this as really helped where losing weights concerned I used to think I was being good by making these choices, now I know I am, which does in a minor way play into the May contain issue I've raised with e-cigs | |||

The point of giving up to me was to be FREE of ALL of that." I agree, ideally one would give up altogether. I was a 40 a day rollup smoker for over 30 years. I tried to give up several times, my best being 6 months, but every day was as bad as the first day, it just never got any easier. With vaping, I stopped smoking cigarettes completely within a week. I used to buy half price tobacco from France/Spain (EU tax paid), and I'd get through around £60 a month, very cheap compared to the £8 a day for regular ciggies. Now I get through around £10 a month in vaping consumables. I can abstain from vaping for long periods now without discomfort, such as when flying long haul. Whereas when I was smoking, I would by desperate for a cigarette most of the time. So yes, I'd like to give up completely, but I do have a long standing, well ingrained habit, which for me, is a right bitch to ditch. So vaping is the best thing since sliced bread as far as I'm concerned. I monitor the research, source high quality consumables and try to be considerate | |||

"Vaping is a bit like using condoms manufacturers never say they are 100% safe they are just the safer option " And that's kinda my take on it. No-one is saying it's good for you, just a whole lot less bad | |||

No-one is saying it's good for you, just a whole lot less bad" So the safest option overall is to quit totally. Use the vape to wean off the fags & then stop. Otherwise you've replaced one addiction with another. I'm glad when I quit these vape things weren't around otherwise I'd probably be sucking on one! | |||
