Without All The Tar & Chemicals My Chest Is As Clear As A Non-Smoker - Vaping Consumer

I smoked for over 23 years and was constantly ill with chest infections, a sore throat and even coughing up black mucus. I switched to vaping 4 years ago after a family member mentioned that she had heard it was like smoking but without all the tar and chemicals. Before I used my first vape I researched everything and found it was 95% less harmful than smoking cigarettes. Since switching to vaping I am no longer ill all the time, my chest is as clear as a non- smoker and I’m no longer coughing up mucus.
Research shows vaping is a much safer alternative to smoking tobacco. The introduction of regulated retail sales of nicotine vaping products would provide a safer option for smokers, which could lead to a decrease in smoking-related illnesses and ultimately lower healthcare costs.
We need a system that makes it easy for smokers to switch to vaping without having to jump through all the hoops of the current prescription model. The only way we can do this is by empowering responsible retailers to sell regulated vaping products. Any other policy will be more of the same and the current problems of tax avoidance, access for minors, and demand for criminal supply will not be addressed.
