    So I have searched and didn't find this topic

    Sports!

    How does vaping compare to analogues when it comes to sport?

    Is this a good alternative to those who would have been smokers, took up the vape and improved/didn't improve performance wise due to tight lungs/ forced inactivity from smoking (or vaping?)

    Am trying to find out in cycling for example would vaping help one improve or keep them at a restricted level? Is there vaping in the semi pro/pro peloton for example

    No more pressure in the lungs. There's a temporary build-up of PG/VG that'll coat your airways so don't vape for a half-hour beforehand and you shouldn't feel much if any resistance.

    It won't make you any better than a non-smoker though, and I have no idea what peloton is. Something cycle-y I gather.

    Ah I see just would nearly put ex smokers back in the same playing field as the non smokers!

    Peloton is the big group of cyclists :)

    I took up cycling after I quit the analogues. Definitely couldn't take on the hills and the 60km lone cycles I do now when I was smoking. As for the pro-peloton ? No Idea ? Vaping in my experience would make a massive improvement in performance over smoking.
