Yeah they have stuff like that here too. Some are pretty tame like someone in a hospital bed and others are like legit photos of cancer like your example.
Yeah the opposite was true for me. Vaping definitely was less effective because it gives you that instant hit which is a big component of the addictiveness of nicotine.
Glad it worked for you though. It's a terrible habit.
That's actually the most interesting concern I've seen raised about this. I hadn't thought about that. The embrace, extend, extinguish thing is what you see most people raise as a issue.
I've had decent bacon vodka before but it was made in small batches by a bar. Made some pretty good bloody marys. Anything mass produced I would avoid though.
I don't have one anymore but even if I did I wouldn't use it. Much prefer wireless.
