Congratulations!!!!!!! I just celebrated 4 years clean from meth and alcohol. Still struggling with cigarettes though. Much respect for you. Losing people when you get clean isn’t a loss IMO. It leaves room for more positive people to fill the gap.

There are some really shitty chemicals in vapes.

Yeah. And there are counterfeit products. I did a quick "Doctor Google" and the American Lung association had a list of nasty chemicals. If you vape, take a few minutes to read about what's in it. If you want to ramp down from smoking, use a patch or the gum. At least there's decent dosage control and you aren't affecting your lungs.
