Everyone looks so stupid. Its so stupid.

I’d much rather people take up vaping than smoking.
It’s not as healthy as not vaping, but it’s 95% less harmful than smoking. Basically every study out of the US that shows that vaping is bad either had a methodology designed to create harmful products (like the formaldehyde and glycerol breakdown studies), or the news articles regarding the study grossly misrepresented the results (diacetyl/acetyl propionyl and heavy metal studies).
Also, since I know someone will say it, you can’t directly compare nicotine content between vapes and cigarettes, or even between vapes because there’s more than one form of nicotine.
If we allow alcohol to be legal, going after vapes is idiotic. The whole “think of the children” argument is bullshit. Kids will always do things they’re not supposed to do. It’s how many of us got started smoking in the first place.

Still, we clamped down on marketting alcopops to underage drinkers, vapes are a much harder thing to keep kids off, so I think it should be aggressively curbed. I think we don’t have the evidence of long term use or developmental problems stemming from vape use, but I get the feeling it will be quite unhealthy even if not as bad as smoking.

It’s already illegal to sell to kids. Go after the shops selling them to kids like we do with cigarettes and tobacco.
