Vaping saved me and my dads life.

I started smoking when I was 13 years old. I started at first on menthol cigarettes and the smoked marlboros for the 7 years. I first heard about e-cigarettes (a name I hate) about 7 months ago. I first tried the cigarette look a likes (which are the only true ecig, IMHO) and tried it, I didnt much care for it but thought to give it my best effort. I eventually found out about the other more advanced types called PV (personal vaporizers) and the different flavors I could use. I finally started gaining ground and getting away from tobacco and now I have been smoke free for 5 months plus and have been decreasing the nicotine levels as well. Now I know that some people see the bigger “ecigs” and think that they are ridiculous but in reality its no different than someone with a big cell phone, bigger than it needs to be yes, but you get better options and results. It makes me sad to see that people are trying to get in the way of something that while it may not be 100% risk free is still multitudes better than traditional cigarettes. I think most people forget personal vaporizers and ecigs are meant to be an alternative to smoking. What blows my mind is that the tobacco industry has been killing millions and instead of taking it off the shelf, people have decided to attack something that while not proven to bee 100% safe has been proven to be safer by leaps and bounds compared to cigarettes. My father is 58 years old and recently had the same experience as I have. He tried Chantix and other drugs, which caused him to be very depressed and we were very worried about him. Yet those are under almost no scrutiny. He tried ecigs and his doctors say his lung function has improved his blood pressure is better and in general he is healthier. So trust me when I say that vaping saved me and dads life, because cigarettes WILL kill you not if. Please help keep vaping alive and saving lives
