A man named Paul Chambers posted a video on Youtube back in November that showed him vaping. This is not too unusual these days as vaping have become a common topic of conversation and media. The difference here was why he was using electronic cigarettes — and it might just change the entire conversation about vaping and flavors.

Due to medical complications, Chambers is on a feeding tube and has been for two years. In that time, he has not been allowed to eat or drink for fear that anything consumed might go into his lungs. Chambers even has to be careful of his own saliva. If he wanted to experience flavor, say from a piece of candy, he’d have to suck on it and make sure not to swallow it. All the while, he’d have to lean forward over something that could catch his saliva as he enjoyed (loosely using the term there) the flavor of the candy. This is all a because Chambers has Parkinson’s Plus Syndrome.

However, in the video, Paul describes vaping and the world of flavor it has brought back to him. In short, flavored e-liquid affords Chambers the ability to experience flavor without the risk of inhaling his own saliva or choking.

This simple video brings an entirely new argument to the debate over electronic cigarette and vaping flavors. E-liquids without flavor are often argued to exist solely to attract non-smokers and teens who view them as harmless. In reality, they generally exist so ex-smokers can eventually cut nicotine entirely out of their lives (an research suggests that they are successful at doing exactly that).

However, this now means that individuals who otherwise cannot experience flavor — particularly those with an inability to handle food and drink — can do so. Suddenly, this becomes an argument for or against their quality of life. An while that is a very small demographic to protect, their quality of life is just as important as that of anyone else (arguably more). If you went two years without the ability to taste chocolate, mint, popcorn, coffee, or anything else, wouldn’t you do anything to get the chance to taste that stuff again? Imagine if it had been 5 years, a decade, or your whole life?

We are still only scratching the surface of the opportunity electronic cigarettes and vaping devices pose for the future. What if replacing conventional cigarettes is another part of a litany of benefits they bring to our world.

One can only imagine.
