Or just the way a woman is madeup. But that is speculation.

@missmuffet ....like, the innate capacity when lighting up for more resonance from it.

(?)

But on the specifics of your point about ultra lights being too light, as if you are smoking nothing: yes, even if smoking is all done occasionally with moderation, it begs the question of if using any cigarette in the first place, you do expect it to do something.

I would go with Winston's or an organic brand. You also should go with a low tar and nicotine.

@missmuffet Just to ask: are organic brands clearly labeled as such, usually?

I've seen blurbs that claim that organics are supposedly 100% non-addictive (not sure if this is likely to be entirely the case, though). Someone who know can often see through what the blurbs may say.

So there is often discussion of how vaping can help ppl cut down their intake or even quit altogether.

One of the advantages of vaping that is sometimes cited is that the amount of nicotine can be slowly and steadily reduced.

Do ppl have any experience of vaping as a help to cut down?

 By the power of Almighty God I quit drinking and smoking the same day and haven't faltered in over 23 years. A beautiful blessing! 

Great you were enabled to quit!

Do you think vaping can help the process of quitting or cutting down on cigarettes?

My understanding is that vaping has its own dangers so I wouldn't advocate transferring one addiction for another.

I guess you would doubt that vaping would have any benefit in quitting, then.........

Correct. A person needs to stop the addiction and not acquire a new one doing so.

I quit, then vaped for another ten years.

The cough has finally stopped, but vaping is so bad for you. Nicotine is a terrible addiction. I agree that the addiction needs to be dealt with.

I asked people to pray, never stop asking until its completely gone.

Vamping is worse than smoking depending on what brand of cigarettes.
