10 years for me, i used vaping because i like my nicotine. Brought down my BP to the point i was barely hypertensive. I recently started taking l-citrulline, it is the precursor to l-arginine which the body uses to create nictric oxide. 3mg 2X/day. My BP is now below the hypertensive level and am now off my BP meds.

I use L-citrulline because any excess, during the arginine conversion, is converted back to citrulline.

Nicotine is not the only chemical in cigarettes that elevates your BP, it may even be the least of the bunch as it only lasts around 30 minutes to the point when your blood vessels return to normal. I cant really say which of the other chemicals are the culprits, tobacco companies add so many chemicals it would be tough for a lab to pin point. In fact just caffeine hardens the arteries longer than just plain nicotine. Quite a few studies, in recent years, point out that nicotine is no where near as bad as we have all been led to believe.

PS. It took about 2 months for my BP to be lower on a regular basis. You're 3 weeks in, CONGRATS, so hang in there for the benefits.

You can relieve some of that pressure by opening up an artery. Release the excess pressure!!

Every day, focus on how much better your lungs function and how much clearer your nose and throat are. It helps, somewhat.

Quitting is easy. I've done it like a dozen times!

Hey, I like to smoke those, too!

But yeah, it's been about that long for me too.

I might fall off the wagon and smoke one tonight. It depends on whether the missus is drunk or not. That;s our agreement, I quit if she quits drinking...

I;ve been smoking much less lately. My doctor might end up pleased if these tings continue, but what are the chances of that?!

On the other hand, I have switched from beer to whiskey for health reasons, and it actually appears to be helping! When the time comes, switching from whiskey to gin will do the trick, right lads?

I think Im just wired differently, I dont miss nicotine at all. Its just the fuckin habit of suckin on a cig when driving mostly. Hell i used to shoot up crystal and stopped overnight.

As an aside, the only reason I started meds was for dental purposes.

Stay strong, it's been a few years for me. I vape occasionally, but not nearly as much as I smoked. I love not hacking up a bunch of crud every morning. You gain a superpower eventually, the ability to smell a cigarette from about a block away, shit smells horrible now.
