I used to smoke years ago and quit. Since then, I go through phases of having a few when I drink. I stupidly started vaping when I was drinking earlier this year thinking it was better but the things are so addictive. Starting to reach for it now even when I'm not drinking and find that once it's near me, I'd be flat out on the thing.

Many others on here in the same boat? Time to go cold turkey I think Cry

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

The amount of kids using these is crazy. I see it everywhere. f**king morons. May as well start on nicotine patches. I can understand people using them for smoking cessation but people starting on these things, FFS.


I’d be fairly certain that these things are lethal. Only a matter of time I’d say.

The thing is, you put a cig out and then wait a while before starting the next one. Plus you usually have to go outside to smoke a fag   

Kids who have never smoked in their lives are on these constantly. I’ve seen them in stadiums, on buses, in pubs. Places you wouldn’t get away with a cigarette.

Are they as expensive as smoking?

No they aren't, not even close. I used to soend near €70 to €80 a week on smoke before I gave up. Swapped to the vape and max €12 a week

Yeah I have a feeling you're right. Very sketchy research gone in to them and FDA review of them keeps being delayed and dragged out which is suspicious enough. Cold turkey time again Clap

All Vapors should be deported and dropped on Rockwall island. Such a pointless activity unless it's your first step to quitting smoking.

I'd also add it's more down to general lack of basic manners from the youth of today in regards to them using on buses etc.

Those stickers from the disposable ones as well! I was wondering what they were, seeing them everywhere.

That's the problem - you'd never chain smoke the entire drive to work but very easy to be puffing away on the vape and not even realising it. Highly addictive - fare more than the normal smokes

Check out “Broken” on Netflix


Great doc on vapes on this show. Defo better than smoking, no doubt about that, the science is there to support that. Gave up myself on NYE last after around 25 years of smoking and couldn’t have done it without the vape, even if I only use it when I’m having a drink.
