hi I’m really struggling to quit smoking and I’ve now been and bought a vape but my question is how will I know if it’s safe to be doing this? I’ve tried reading online and it’s all conflicting as I have early/mild copd and nothing stands out as some articles are saying don’t it’s bad and others are saying we don’t know basically and the nhs website (I’m from the uk) says it’s good for cessation of cigarettes.
Patches make me so poorly sick that I can’t function and I have mints and gum (nrt) I struggle from wake up to dinner time to curb the cravings but from lunch I can go hrs without having one unless boredom hits or I’m anxious. I also have the mini mints and gum also which are nrt
For context I used to smoke upto 30 a day and got right down but now I’m back at around 10 from my daughter being in hospital and stressing, all I want is to stop but realising how hard this is is making me sick and emotional with everything.
Please advise as best as you can.
thank you Laura xx
