smoking regular cigs is very different then vaping e-cigs! and yes there is nicotine in it, but not much else as far as nasty chemicals, thats something those against vaping tell you. I've gotten full ingredients list from some of my juices and it a short list like this from "mr. good vape's Bahama Mama--propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin,natural/artificial flavorings & sweeteners, nicotine. not even close to a regular cig!!
I'm happy for you that you where able to go cold turkey! but quitting smoking is different for every one, its hard!! and this is how i stopped, even lowered my nicotine from 24% down to 8% and i feel great!
this is just a money game and politics, has nothing to do with the health of the people!!
