I have a friend who has been using an e-cigarette for 10+ years. He doesn’t seem any less addicted to smoking as back when he was using old-fashioned cigarettes.

I understand e-cigarettes are supposed to help you quit… but has anyone actually had success with them? Or, is it more like trading one vice for another?

    • if you aren’t smoking already, there isn’t really a good reason to start

    This is why I was glad to see all the legislation beginning to come out banning disposables. I swear 95% of disposable users I see are kids who’ve never smoked, and disposables are just the alcopops of the smoking world - cheap, sweet, and used as a gateway in rather than out.

      We already have laws banning sale of vapes to children. Why can’t I, an adult, have a sweet flavored vape? I can legally buy weed gummies and flavored alcohol. Flavor bans are ridiculous.

        I think they should be stricter on people who give or sell them to minors. Maybe they should start charging parents every time teens are caught vaping, until the source is found. Add more pressure, make it more difficult to ignore than it is to deal with an angry teenager.
