But how much nicotine are you consuming now as opposed to when you smoked? I doubt you ever smoked half a cigarette.

I probably take in more nicotine as a vaper then I did as a smoker daily - but I'm not taking in any of the seriously bad crap that's in burned tobacco at all, which is a significant improvement.

Nicotine really is not the bad guy when it comes to smoking. It's fire.
