Asthma inhaler and a vape, I'm sure there's no connection.

You'd be wrong there's a very strong connection.
I've been asthmatic since I was 2, when I was 15 I started my smoking career ending up as a 40 a day Marlboro smoker, used to get through 1 inhaler a month, since switching to vaping my lung health has improved vastly, the ashtma nurse supports it, my docotor supports it, 1 inhaler now lasts me 6 months plus.

So yes vaping has helped me improve my health.

It's still the lesser of two evils though Shirley? Wouldnt quitting altogether be the best bet?

surely doesn't get more interesting than a man clearly overjoyed by his over-sized pepper mill collection

Believe it or not, people who are addicted to something don’t find “quitting altogether” the easiest thing in the world to do.

Yes and no.

Yes, because obviously anything you stick in your lungs can cause issues, but then with air pollution is it any worse? I suppose we'll find out later down the line, and I'd sooner have some fun whilst I can than worry about it when I can't.

No, because there are some remarkable studies afoot that suggest nicotine can be a helpful substance when it comes to treating age related mental disorders (Parkinson's & Alzheimer's etc). Nicotine itself is not that bad of a substance when you take it away form all the other crap they throw in tobacco.

Either way my long term plan was / is to quit altogether, I used to vape @ 36mg/ml to first get off smoking, I'm at less than 3mg/ml now, and with 250mL of 72mg/ml nicotine left it's a decision I don't need to make for another 13 months.

Or I could get run over tomorrow, I mean I won't cause I ain't going out tomorrow but you never know, maybe one of the Chinooks that's flying around lately could drop out of the sky and flatten the house.

You like to think you're immune to the stuff, but it's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough. Might as well face it.

My mate is into all these different vapes - honestly, to me they all smell like burning engine coolant Can you genuinely tell the difference?

A burnt coil will cause that, I don't notice when it happens to mine but my wife lets me know.
I use a menthol flavour as it's the most generally inoffensive one I could think of.

Hell yes, I usually have about a dozen different flavours in rotation, coffee ones, nut ones, sweet ones, menthol ones, fruit ones, weird ones

Must be an acquired skill

Not so. It's dead easy. I did it hundreds of times. (Before I finally managed to quit for good.)

Quitting's easy, it's the not starting again that's difficult.

Wouldn't have minded having a pint in there that night!

Given the choice of taps I'd've passed.
