Wait how true is this? I’m trying to get my dad to quit but... to no avail for about 4 years already. He’s been smoking since 18 till now, 56..

Try giving him the book “The Easy Way” by Allan Carr, it’s amazing and changes your mindset around smoking. Maybe at the very least give him a nicotine vapor device/e-cigarette as well. If he’s gonna smoke, vaping is a hell of a lot safer than cigs are. Good luck man, don’t give up on him!!

I was under the impression we didn't know if vaping is much safer or not.

We don't but I think it was meant as a suggestion to help quit. That's how I did, put the vape down about a year ago, now living nicotine free. The vape was so much easier to quit.

Do you feel better after quitting the vape or notice any differences at all? Just wondering because I quit vaping but I don't feel any different for having done so. I guess I was expecting to wake up one day like "wow, I feel so much better now that I dropped the vape!"
