I have been vaping for 16 years, I tried to quit several times longest without was a year. I did 2 CT scans which showed a calcified micronodule in one lung but the dr said its nothing serious and not cancer. Sometimes I fear getting lung cancer as my grandfather died from lung cancer after smoking for decades. Chatgpt said in rare cases micronodules can transform into lung cancer.
I managed to drop the nicotine from 40 to 2mg but I read that its not the nicotine that causes cancer but the other toxic chemicals in vapes and cigarettes. I think thats why NRTs are prescribed. Sometimes I feel like this slow death is good as I am living in a nightmare and I am not myself since getting sz, my worry free presz or true life is gone forever.
I have mostly quit smoking with the assistance of Varenicline Tartate and nicotine gum. I still have one on a rare occassion , but not very often. A pack is lasting me like 2 weeks. It’s getting easier.
I have smoked or vaped for the majority of 35 years.
I vape a lot and I have chest pain sometimes seems like its the lungs but CT scan says no cancer, only micronodule. Chatgpt says micronodules do not cause pain but can become cancer. It also says vaping has not been proven to cause cancer but I do not believe it. Everytime I have this chest pain I feel like I have cancer and will die. Its not going away. I went to the emergency once and waited 14h before they told me I have no major cardiac or lung issues. I also thought maybe I had a heart attack but they said no after doing an EKG.
