but now I kill people I'm told are bad based off of shaky evidence and a screaming, muscular white guy in his mid 30's.

Then why Is It I'm still alive?

I'm kinda hooked on Nicotine, but I switched to vaping (almost down to 0mg nicotine) and I've helped a few people I know who were heavy smokers switch over and lay off of nicotine?

On a serious note, once you kick the addiction altogether, It'll be the best thing you've done. It's been over 10 years since I've quit and I've never looked back.

You know, I actually felt a lot better after I switched to vaping. Occasionally I might feel tired or like excessively frustrated with how bored I am, but besides that, I feel like I'm in great condition. I've got a normal lung capacity, my heart rate hasn't changed (I rest at 80-90 bpm which is on the higher side but it's always been that way for me even before smoking) Maybe one day I'll fully quit but I think more realistically, I'll grow a maturity towards it and consume with reason.
