    They are an excellent and well understood harm reduction measure compared with smoking.

      In a true dichotomy they are the far better option. Unfortunately they were/are attracting new smokers. The rate of teenage smoking had been plummeting for decades and was only at a couple of percent - until vapes became popular and reversed about two decades of progress.

      There’s an even better harm reduction measure: not smoking at all.

        Don’t take any drugs, wish them away. Failing that, start a war on drugs. Prosecute the war for decades with nothing to show for your efforts aside from a pile of bodies and organised crime.

          That sounds unhygienic, so I don’t think I will

        Yes but unless they ban cigarettes first, banning vapes will likely just have a negative effect
