Vaping and Smoking
Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I am looking to cut down on smoking.
I read that vaping and e cigarettes have no tar and are hence slightly less worse. Can also reduce the number of puffs over time.
As there is very less literature available, wanted to take the opinion from experts like you.
If it is okay, I would like to get your esteemed opinion.
Thank you very much for you time.
