The number of people using tobacco continues to decline despite industry attempts to jeopardize progress towards stamping out cigarettes and other such products, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a report published on Tuesday.
Vaping is not intended as a smoking cessation product, it is a cigarette alternative. It happens to help people quit cigarettes, but the tobacco industry does not give two shits whether it does or doesn’t. Vaping is addictive and still pretty bad for you.
I’m glad they’re helping you kick cigarettes. Vapes are an addictive nicotine product, they weren’t created to do anything but get nicotine into people of all ages.
There are no studies that have shown yet that vaping is bad for you long term…and don’t send over the studies with the popcorn lung or the study of them literally burning a dry wick.

That’s just factually inaccurate.

By better simulating the habit than other methods. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to make the connection. You have to be a special kind of stupid to confidently deny it, though.

True, but they’re not the ones who invented vapes. In fact, they and organizations sponsored by the sales of “traditional” smoking cessation products were the most ardent advocates for outlawing vapes, for obvious reasons. That some of them have bought Juul and other vape companies is just a cynical way of getting rid of the competition by devouring it.

Which is why it’s meant for adult smokers only. It’s still nowhere near as addictive and harmful as tobacco, though, so even if you DO accidentally replace one addiction with another, you’re still better off than if you had continued smoking.

Nobody gives a shit what it was intended for when it helps people kick two pack a day 25 year cigarette habits.
Like me. And a few others in this very post’s comment section.

Sorry, but your opinion doesn’t match reality in this case.

The inventor of vape juice and the methods for vaping it, was a doctor who was trying to kick his own habit.
And it is not ‘helping’ me. It helped. I’ve been off cigs 7 years, and vape for 2.
