Re: Vape!!!
Vaping gives an ingestion of nicotine in the dosage of choice. What you are vaping is flavored juices. The juices have varied levels of nicotine in them from as high as 25mg or so (your typical strong cigarette) to zero, no perceivable nicotine at all, just flavoried juices.
The jury is still out on this, as technically no FDA studies have been done. But most people agree there is probably a little tiny bit of carcinogens in the water vapor, but its at such a small scale especially when compared to burning actual tobacco. Most everybody agrees they are less dangerous than cigarettes.
Both can deliver nicotine to the body. The gum gets it into your bloodstream via the mouth, the vapes, via the lungs like a cigarette. But from a smoking cessation standpoint. The vaping still helps satisfy the part of the addiction that is holding something in your hand and puffing on something. Unless you were a cigarette smoker its hard to understand. But part of the addiction is the whole having one in your hands, and in your mouth.
Don't get me wrong, but I think if you do not smoke, and your a kid or adult and you pick up an Ecig and want to try it, wether you get a high nicotine juice or a zero juice, I think your a moron. There is absolutely nothing "good" about these things in that respect. But if you are a smoker, and truly want to quit. These are the best way so far to wean the body of cigarettes, and then eventually off nicotine all together.
Both really, but in the grand scheme of things, the tar/smoke is what gives you the cancer, not the nicotine.QC said:I guess my point/question is: is Nicotine itself the issue? Or the stuff surrounding it?
But with all of this discussion, if Vaping gives an ingestion of nicotine

without all of the cancer causing stuff, can it be bad?

Is it any different than Nicorette gum?
