I first held a cigarette when I was drunk at the age of 18, I have been addicted to it for 4-5 years, I always have 3-4 types in my pocket to change the flavor. But I have switched to vaping for 6 years now. Not only me, the number of people around me switching from cigarettes to vaping is also increasing day by day. Compared to when I started vaping, the vaper community is now getting bigger. A few years ago, out of 10 people I met, 3-4 would use vaping, but now it is about 7-8 people.
Yet some say vaping is a youth trend. What kind of trend has lasted this long? And the number of users has increased steadily over the years?
Vapers use vapes because they have a real need!
For me, first of all, I have to talk about the need to not be shunned. I hate the scene of people around me puffing on a cigarette, moving away or covering their noses with their hands. When I was young, it seemed normal, but when I grew up, I found it "abnormal" at all. Because I couldn't stand other people acting like that towards me just because of a cigarette, vaping became my new choice. Thanks to vaping, my fingers and clothes no longer smell of cigarette smoke. The smell of vaping also doesn't make people around me frown, frown, or "quietly" sit away.
Next is the need for a "healthier" lifestyle. Smoking anything is not harmful, putting chemicals into the body is harmful, but at least with 2 habits that are harmful to the body, choose the less harmful one, use it more civilized! By the way, the most "harmful" thing when switching to vaping is that I have become... too picky about food. Before, I could eat anything, now I have the habit of eating anything with a clear taste, fresh and delicious, probably through the process of tasting, so I have an "occupational disease". Not to mention, during the 2-3 months of switching from cigarettes to vaping, I feel my breathing is deeper, waking up in the morning without phlegm in my throat... Much more comfortable!
That's basically it. I use it because I feel the need, and I'm no longer at the age to follow trends. I think the community should recognize vaping for the positive aspects it brings.
I wonder what my fellow vapers think of this point of view? Do you have any other needs that I have? Let's share and exchange a bit.
