I have been vaping (using an electronic cigarette) for 3 years, in place of smoking cigarettes. Prior to that, I used ecigs for three years as a stand in when smoking was inconvenient or impossible. I would have transited sooner, but the technology was just not there - ecigs have only started to really get great in the last 4 years or so.
  I have lots of personal and professional experience with addiction,  in many forms. Smoking is somewhere in the middle of the road as addictive substances go. It is damnably hard to shrug off. I am very happy to have ecigs as a harm reduction strategy, as I am seriously dependent on nicotine.
  I will be keeping up on the page better in the following days, sticking more to the ecig topic. Please address comments and thoughts to FB page, thanks.
