I switched to vaping three years ago after smoking for 18 years. I had no business smoking, I broke my neck 15 years ago in a diving accident and received lung damage by inhaling polluted river water. When I smoked I was quick to lose breath and my lung volume was low. Every doctor I’ve seen were glad I made the switch and after monitoring my lungs over the past three years I’ve made them believers that vaping is indeed a harm reduction method and my inspired lung volume is that of a healthy non-smoker. I have my health now and I truly have vaping to thank for that.
