GUess I missed this.
OK E-cigs was an option for me. From smoking, issues in air around Houston combines with my reaction to Polacriliex (I believe is the material), I lost vision in my right eye (foggy vision).
I turns out, I am sensitive to smoke sensation aids, which includes nicotine gums and some of the lozenges. The crilex/ silix bases caused a formation and deposit into the cornea of my right eye. So I can not use those products without risk. At least not long at all,
So the e-cig was the only thing I could use and have no reactions to. I am not allergic to PG or VG. Which I was actually tested for. If I use Silix bases, I run the risk of acute reaction and my body depositing a part of it in soft tissue. IT was found in my eye, mucous membrane, and glands.
Unfortunately patches are not an option (regardless if nicotine or other, I can't where pain patches either due to sensitivity.
SO I will be damned if they take away the only thing I do not react to to relieve stress and cut down.
