    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.

      Seriously. Why anyone starts vaping who didn’t smoke is beyond me. It’s so lame.
