Do e-cigarettes actually work? - Lemmy.world
I have a friend who has been using an e-cigarette for 10+ years. He doesn’t seem
any less addicted to smoking as back when he was using old-fashioned cigarettes.
I understand e-cigarettes are supposed to help you quit… but has anyone actually
had success with them? Or, is it more like trading one vice for another?
I am currently using e-cigarettes as a former smoker
I would say:
- if you aren’t smoking already, there isn’t really a good reason to start
- if you are smoking and sort of kind of want to continue, e-cigarettes are most likely healthier than analog
- if you are smoking analog and want to quit, there are better ways to quit for sure - I don’t feel like committing to quitting just yet, however when I do feel committed, I will go with the tips outlined at the end of the Huberman Lab - Nicotine’s Effects on the Brain & Body & How to Quit Smoking or Vaping podcast
Nicotine's Effects on the Brain & Body & How to Quit Smoking or Vaping
In this episode, I explain how nicotine impacts the brain and body, including its potent ability to enhance attention, focus, and alertness, increase blood pressure and metabolism and reduce appetite.
