I enjoy the odd tipple and know this can do all sorts of damage to the individual, but I have never understood why anyone would smoke, let alone inhale something that is completely unregulated with god knows what in it. More research needs to be done on E-Cigs, I guessing in years to come those on them long term will end up with some ill from their use. I think this may just be the tiny tip of the iceberg.
"I have never understood why anyone would smoke" : peer pressure when you're a teenager, then addiction.
"let alone inhale something that is completely unregulated with god knows what in it" : smokers try to find any way to curb their addictions.
I am here to say that I have been a smoker for about 40 years, I failed miserably to give it up. I gave it up when I started vaping about 5 years ago. But for the last 2/3 years I started having scalp psoriasis and gradually things have gotten worse. I now have psoriasis on my scalp, behind the ears, back, bum crack, testicles, some on the leg. I seem to be dehydrated all the time so I try to drink more water than usual but this doen't help much at all.
I know that all of this is caused by the substances I am inhaling but I still vape. So I can honestly say that I am addicted to vaping but I don't really enjoy it much. Smoking gives me more pleasure but it stinks.
The main problem for me and I believe the same for all smokers/vapors is the constant feeling that you're missing something. I do understand that non smokers do not get this. But imagine you have to give up alcohol, chocolate, sugar, bread or anything at all. It wouldn't be easy.
I really believe that vaping makes psoriasis worse. Hence, I am writing this to make others aware to help them.
