As someone who smoked Camels for years and is now just as addicted to vaping, there are no benefits. Zero.
When I smoked cigs, I stank constantly. Even if I sprayed perfume or had a mint. My fingers always smelled.
I did 12 straight years of choir, but now I have a much smaller vocal range. I'm not as active because I get winded. Now that I vape and have constant access, I get cranky after like 30 minutes of no nicotine.
My blood pressure is higher. I can't be on the type of birth control that gives me less side effects because my smoking makes it higher risk.
I'm raising my risk of cancer. I'm spending a fuckton of money on flavored air.
There is literally no positive and I wish I had never touched it.
I had success quitting vaping by switching to nicotine lozenges. Try it, they are cheaper than most vapes.
