Given my past vaping and smoking, am I actually a healthy guy now?

[Anonymous]

I am tall and in good shape, 15% body fat and lean, good BMI. My blood pressure is around normal not hypertensive. I can do strenous activity, hold my breath for 1.5 mins. No medical conditions, or medications taken. No allergies.

I ask mainly because I had some unhealthy habits.

From 19-21 I vaped, then until 27 I either vaped or smoked.

Mostly vaped. But there were heavy periods of chain vaping finishing a vape a day or smoking a pack a day, I did take breaks in the middle though. With vaping I did get shortness of breath and a tight chest but went away shortly after quitting for good. There were also times where I used to drink heavily.

At 27 I quit everything. Best thing I ever did.
Now it’s just a life of self improvement and growth.

You are still very healthy

No I do not agree

Not sure

Vaping has already been established by the vast majority of the medical community as being exponentially safer - as much as 95% - than smoking, so I thankfully avoided the trap of continuing to smoke, simply because I couldn't quit, and/or because I fell for the hype that the two are similar, and switched to vaping nine years ago. Keep up the good work, and don't be swayed by the 'vaping-is-just-as-bad-as-smoking' naysayers.

What do you think though am I very healthy?

[Billlewis]

Just keep getting better. It sounds like you're doing a great job. Don't waste your energy worrying about the past.

What does that mean

It could be years before you can undo all the effects of smoking and vaping

[Asker]

Well as long as it’s reversed who cares
