The addictive part is the main issue. People don’t smoke for 30 years because it tastes good, and I don’t think vapes are any different.

I don’t think kids would ever DIY non-nicotine vapes enough to cause a public health crisis. Kids could have huffed Halloween fog machines in the 90s but they didn’t.




Vapes are very different. Im speaking from experience. Switching from smoking to vaping is way harder than quitting vaping.


I don't doubt that. What I'm saying is that, if health concerns with vaping is justified because it's safer than smoking, then it makes sense as a cessation product. But that's not the way they're currently marketed, regulated, and sold. But, being "safer than smoking" is not a justification for hooking a new generation of consumers who didn't previously smoke.
