I like it and it keeps me sane. I also don't cough anymore and the fruit flavor I vape doesn't smell like tobacco. It's one of my last vices and at 71 I'm too old to care. Having said that I was lucky. Physically I can still move like I was 30. I had my lungs tested before an operation in 2018 and I asked the tech how I did? He said that if everyone came in with lungs like mine he would be out of a job. Not the response I expected. On the light side I tell people I am doing a public service by chilling out vaping.
