Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder often characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement, and in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement. The primary symptoms of Parkinsons are due to excessive muscle contraction, normally caused by the insufficient formation and action of dopamine, which is produced in the dopaminergic neurons of the...
For those of us who are addicted to nicotine, this is very dangerous information. hugz, SG
Your point is well taken, though, SG. A LITTLE information can be a dangerous thing!
I put the nicotine back into my vaping mix and the tremor has drastically reduced. My balance has significantly improved and the brain fog has lifted. The neurologist has started me on Mirapex to address the remaining symptoms and asked me to stop the nicotine...not a chance! For me, vaping IS the safe delivery system for nicotine. And the pacifying aspect of the electronic cigarette is great in those moments of stress...

NONE, MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY, MYSELF INCLUDED.
I STOPPED SMOKING NEARLY TWO YEAR AGO, EXPERIENCING A DRAMATIC RISE IN BRADYKINESIA, WHICH IS FAR WORSE THAN DYSKINESIA, LET ME TELL YOU.
OUT OF DESPAIR AND DESPERATION I TRIED NICOTINE PATCHES AND CHEWING GUM, WITH POSITIVE RESULTS.
THIS GOES AGAINST CONVENTIONAL WISDOM I KNOW, CRAZY INDEED.
IT IS A FUNNY OLD WORLD.
I had been diagnosed with PD 2 years or so before I saw sense to quit once and forall, now I can't stand the slightest whiff of second hand smoke, it really makes me feel really unwell... especially with the PD to contend with too.
I think it's total BULLONY, BULLS--T to say smoking of anything benefits illnessess like PD... Some people are so gullible, they're taken in by this rubbish... so... they say "Smoke this or smoke that, wether it's legal or not..... but it'll make you feel better!"... that maybe the case in the short term, but with prolonged use can lead to a whole wrath of fatal illnessess like lung cancer,lung disease,heart disease, blood poisioning... & many more.
SMOKING IS FOR SUCKERS!! ... FULL STOP...

It is the combustion of tobacco (smoke) and the additives, many of which have proven carcinogenic, that are the killers. In sharp contrast the e-cigarette has no combustion. It would more accurately be called a personal vaporizer.
An atomiser is incorporated into a cartridge which holds three liquid components: vegatable gylcerine, flavorings and nicotine (each independently approved by the FDA for other uses).
I don't recommend smoking to anyone; this, VAPING is a safe delivery system for nicotine and more effective than the patch or the gum. It makes a great pacifier as well :) If everything is going to hell around me, I can vape on my e-cig and de-stress within minutes.
The studies are ongoing re: the patch and nicorette gum. I sincerely hope someone is looking at the efficacy of the3e-cig as well.
