So I'm quitting smoking
 
Today I purchased a vaping pen, I must say I LOVE IT!!

I have a question tho, if I'm inhaling vapor instead of smoke, am I still a smoker?

I really need to quit and I feel mentally stable enough to do so.

For me, I still considered myself a smoker when I was vaping. I feel it still leaves the door open to smoking.

Vaping is not totally healthy- there do seem to be health risks- but it's bound to be better than smoking!

You are still a smoker. Vaping is a cold way of smoking but it is still a form of smoking. Much healthier though.

If your ultimate goal is to quit smoking vaping is a step in the right direction so I give you props for that. Keep trying to quit man, you can do it.

Chilledice, vaporizing the liquid turns it into smoke, so I would say you are still smoking. However, breaking the cigarette smoking ritual is a good thing. :egypt:

I picked up that dirty habit later in my adult life. Yes...my kids were shocked. Then I found out the hard way that smoking and drinking go hand in hand. When I started my first day of sobriety I also quit smoking. Boy, I am one lucky lady! I am coming up for 5 months for both. Not sure about the vapor thing, but I did hear that is just as bad for you if not worse? You can do this Chilledice!

I too vape, I'm not a cigarette smoker I don't stink and honestly I choose the nicotine, if any. I consider myself a non smoker.

I'm not ready to totally leave nicotine just yet lol I am however gonna try and use vaping to quit all together.

Thanks for your Input folks, as always much appreciate :)
