      No one is pretending that, certainly not the person you responded to.

      His point is that it’s not a drug that has to lead to other drugs

          it has, because it’s illegal and puts people into contact with the legal market.

          When you actually look at it, alcohol or coffee (depending on your interpretation of drug) are far bigger gateway drugs, alongside tobacco/nicotine/vapes.

            I agree with everything you say. vapes (i dont like that name) were alot more controlled being sold only in ecigarette stores, and when they weren’t disposable or these small little devices, there was not many people who were “non-tobacco users” starting.
