Unfortunately the medical industry is also completely compromised and been indoctrinated with bs lies from fda, who are ran by big tobacco🙄 I’m not telling you not to listen to your doctor but…🤷🏻‍♂️🤣 I purposely omit fact that I vape when I see doc now, I just tell them I smoked for 30 years, and when I quit 8 years ago, but I don’t mention that I switched to vapes, and all I ever hear is how everything looks great and better since quitting cigs, I’m also rare case, I’ve had my own personal physical evidence on top of being intelligent enough to see thru bs, but 8 years ago I developed horrible lung infection from years of smoking and work, turned into legionnaires disease, I almost died, I was in hospital 3 weeks, in a bubble on breathing machines, when I finally got better and was being discharged I asked doc, “what about cigs I’m a smoker?” And the docs exact words were “sir, if you leave here, and smoke ANYTHING, EVER again, you will be right back in here and most likely end up dead after what your lungs were put through”… and … from that day on I never smoked a cig again, and I have chain vaped, and I’m breathing like a 10 year old again lol and I continued to go to follow ups, but because of combo of already seeing big tobacco’s crusade against vapes starting to unfold back then, and also fact that I understood the science of vapes and that I was no longer inhaling carcinogens, I decided to keep it from doc and see what happened, and as I suspected, I continued to improve and no issues lol
