I know several people that switched to vaping with the stated intent to quit. It’s now been 6 to 7 years and all are still vaping or back on cigarettes. My mother was a journalist and smoker. She often wrote late into the evening. If she ran out of smokes and my father was out, she would load us kids and drive to get more. A big reason I never considered smoking. Both she and my grandfather did eventually quit on their own after the health facts emerged. Quitting is one of the toughest things you will ever do. Both lived into their 90’s in good health.

Go for it,
