to take up vaping years after giving up cigs?

[Isabeller]

Under stress I sometimes really crave cigs but haven't picked up in several years. I do overeat though and am really trying to get on top of that. My fantasy is vaping will help me control my food intake.

Am I being an idiot?

Yes.

Vaping is a great way to give up smoking but it isn't the same as a real cigarette.

If you get yourself addicted to nicotine again, you'll very likely end up back on the fags...just to get a 'real' hit.

Your problem is your overeating...as soon as you get to the bottom of why you're doing it and work out a strategy to stop, you'll feel much better and not be addicted to nicotine.

Swapping one addiction for another, isn't a good thing.

What worra says. Smoking is just like over eating. Both are unhealthy addictions so you're not helping yourself by risking swinging between the two... You would prob use the electronic fag for a while , then try to give up and veer back to over eating... Much better to try to deal with the root of your p

Oops. Root of your problem which is unhealthy addiction.

Wtf is vaping?

Electronic cigarettes Erik, they contain nicotine in a little cartridge and you 'smoke' it like a normal fag...except it's vapour and not smoke.

Oh. Then it's a ridiculous idea!

Op don't do it, you have done well.

It's a slippery slope! Don't reintroduce nicotine into your system when you've managed without it for so long. I like the term vaping btw, did you invent it?

I gave up smoking around 6 years ago and tried one of those electronic cigarettes around 2 weeks ago. I only had a couple of drags but BLIMEY what an impact it has had on me. Grim. Don't do it.

Not much doubt there then thanks for the feedback
