Ecigs are just as bad. It’s because the nicotine and other chemicals reduce your blood cells and make blood thinner so more risk of bleeding out, more risk or infection and slower healing. I stopped about 12 weeks ago now for getting my BA in January and have never felt better. Take the opportunity to quit now hun because you don’t only have to stop before you have to stop for the full recovery time too so pointless starting back up again. Hope this helps xx
