Not that there's anything wrong with that.
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
My mom and dad were both chain smokers. There was always a smoky haze in the house. I never had any interest in smoking and never tried it. I never knew how bad it was till I left home for basic and came back afterwards.
My mother, in her later years had COPD and I had to take her to numerous doctors appointments and the ER. I started having breathing problems after some of those trips. I went to an allergy specialist and along with several other things, it was determined that I was allergic to cigarette smoke. The doctor said I had developed the allergy because of their second hand smoke. I had to take allergy shots for several years.
I have to stay away from smokers. If the smoke hits me, it’s like someone tried to shove a tennis ball down my throat. I can’t breathe, nausea sets in you can guess from there. I have to be cautious if I see someone smoking outside. I either stay upwind from them or move out of the area completely.
My GF of fifteen years was a smoker and she always went outside to smoke because she saw how it affected me. When the Vape thing started, it was tolerable, but I always tried to get her to cut down on the nicotine percentage and ween herself off of it completely. She was down to 8% when she took ill and died in 2016.

Vaping is currently under study for a suggested link between ecigs and cervical cancer in men.
Yep, and you are not alone. The internet is full of meme's associating vaping with *********s. And that opinion lets you turn a blind eye to what the FDA and local, state and federal legislators are doing. Think of it this way: You know at least one person who has had health issues due to smoking. If something was there to get them off the cancer causing cigarettes and save their life, would you be for it or against it? That is the fight the vaping industry is fighting right now.
I smoked 2 to 3 packs a day for 20 years.Quit cigarettes and alcohol cold turkey.My doctor told me people that use gum or vape to quit cigarettes have a higher percentage of relapsing than people that just quit.
Don't smoke never have. Can't hardly stand to be around it. Don't care for the vapes but prefer to be around someone using that than to be around a smoker at any point. Nothing like walking around with a taste in your mouth like you just liked an ashtray when someone walks past to perk up your day.
I have enough lung problems as it is after living a few miles from this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Neal_fertilizer_plant_explosion

That's why my Gynecologist said too.
Then your doctor is completely ignorant of the effectiveness of ecigs. Take a look at this:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4410194/
So far I've not been able to find any true study of the success rate of quitting cold turkey, mostly just surveys. However, over the last decade US smoking rates, both for adults and underage, have hit lows never seen before and continue dropping. The only change in that time is the popularity of vaping. Most other NRT's have a dismal success rate after 12 months. Vaping is the only one that is over 50%, most others are in the low teens to single digit range.
Anything that improves anyone's health is a good thing. It stands to reason that the ecigs are not as bad as regular cigarettes. I'm a nicotine slave myself and people just do what they have to do. That said, Sedona wanted to quit and he quit. It didn't take him eight years. Good thing his doctor was "completely ignorant of the effectiveness of ecigs."
