I miss it so much. No joke I miss smoking.

However I will not pick up a vape. It took HOW MANY FUCKING YEARS, for us to have the smallest understanding of what it was causing. We are in no way shape or form in a position to know what vaping is truly causing inside the human body.

How cigarettes were being prescribed to asthmatic as a cure for asthma? The best filter was the asbestos filter, who fucking knows what similar shit is happening and being recommended in the vaping world that we don’t know the full effects of.

    Nicotine is a stimulant, that's why. It reduces anxiety and promotes bronchodilation. Helpful in the short run, but of course the long term effects of smoking will likely make it worse.

    Modern asthma inhalers instead contain a mild steroid.
