    I've not noticed any increase in BP/Pulse from nicotine on it's own and my BP has dropped after quitting the smokes.
    Ditto 8mm. My BP dropped from "oh oh, we'll bring flowers to your funeral" to "do you run marathons" in under a week when I went from ciggies to vaping. My rest in heart rate is noticeably lowered from "hummingbird doing lines of coke" of previous. And I vape 20-24mg and have given myself the dizzies early on before I copped on how not to give myself a nicotine overdose. :o:) Vaping nicotine doesn't give me anyway nearly the same near instant hit as dragging on a ciggie(though does near instantly kill my cravings). There's all sorts of other stuff at play.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    ****For the first time ever when we give up nicotine now, a moment of weakness doesn't mean buying a packet of fags, smoking the lot, kicking ourselves but saying fcuk it, 'I'm back smoking' and not attempting to give up again for another few years due to the difficulty and withdrawl experienced the last time. ****

    On that bit I think most people who are down to 3 or 6mg for a while will have NO problem with actual Nicotine cravings if they run out and have to wait for a day, couple of times I have walked out of the house forgetting my mod I've been sitting happily enough in the pub with my pint an no desire to go get ciggies, the cravings from the stinkies were just so much more intense than what you get with the vaping stuff, well for me anyway

    I think I've said this before on here, I'm down to 3mg now so I could probably walk away (although 150 quids worth of stuff bought last week means I'm pot committed for another year) but even when I was on 12mg I noticed something mad. One day I was rushing to work, got off the DART and hurried up to the office I was working in. The nature of the job means that I get there and sit for 4 hours or so and cannot leave the room, not even for a toilet break so no chance to sneak a vape. I forgot to vape before going in! It just didn't occur to me, and do you know what? I didn't care at all! I'd have been rolling a cig on the DART and smoking it while jogging uphill and hyperventilating just 2 years ago! Smokers do not forget to smoke! Ever! There's a whole lot more to addiction to smoking than nicotine and I hope we see some decent research to explain it all in the coming years.

    I totally agree. When I moved to my current job a little over 3 years ago, I decided that I wouldn't bother with going for vape breaks anymore and it didn't bother me in the slightest. I vape on the way in to work, and always look forward to my lunch break, and again on the way home, but at no point in work do I feel a need to go for a vape.

    Back in the dark days of marloboro lights, I'd have smoked 2 on the way to work, 1 when I got there, have gone for two fag breaks before lunch at exactly the same times every day, a couple more during lunch, and a couple more breaks in the afternoon. Craziness when I look back on it.

    Vaping for me is a lot more casual. I really enjoy it and whilst I'm still on 6mg, I aim to move down to 3mg in the new year.
