While previous advice on instituting nicotine replacement therapy for someone six months out from quitting was problematic, the suggestion to take up vaping for a person already suffering from chronic lung disease was worse.

> [@flatlined](#): > > Six months seems to be a long time to be a jerk after quitting. I was only at a pack a day, but I stopped being a total bitch after a couple of weeks and then moved back to normal bitch mode after about a month. I believe it. It’s one thing to make the choice yourself; it’s entirely another to have it forced upon you and have to quit totally and immediately. I can’t imagine quitting without having actually made that choice. It was hard enough doing it willingly, and being able to taper off on my own schedule. ---

It is truly shameful that the medical community is still spreading this garbage. Nicotine e-cigs have nothing to do with the EVALI deaths; they were caused by chemical contaminants in black market THC devices.
