I have a friend who has been using an e-cigarette for 10+ years. He doesn’t seem any less addicted to smoking as back when he was using old-fashioned cigarettes.

I understand e-cigarettes are supposed to help you quit… but has anyone actually had success with them? Or, is it more like trading one vice for another?

    Same, I switched from smoking to vaping a pretty high nicotine juice at the height of the vaping craze. Slowly worked my way down to 0 nicotine and finally was able to drop the vaping. I haven’t had a vape in over a year and haven’t had a cigarette in about 5 years. I still get cravings but they pass and I’m fine. I was a pack per day smoker for 20 years, e-cigs can absolutely help if your intent is to quit.
