Hi
My boyfriend has been type 1 for over since the age of 10 (now 33). He's a heavy smoker, who both needs & wants to cut down as he has severe retinopathy & has regular laser surgery etc. He's wondering whether eCigs are the way forward to try & help him quit OR will the pure nicotine be just as bad for his vision as smoking normal cigarettes?
He's tried them before & his blood sugar levels were not effected by the eCigs.... like I said, his main concern is the pure nicotine.... does anybody know?
Thanks guys
