      Yeah, surprisingly. But it’s just vaping now. I started vaping to quit smoking but you have to account for half of gen z getting hooked on juuls awhile back. When those first became popular I was more surprised when I found people that didn’t vape.

        Honesty I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing people with major health issues because of vaping. Vaping gives the illusion of being clean but in reality the vapors are fully of all sorts of nasty chemicals.

          No one actually knows what is in vapes. No one checks, no one regulates anything with vapes. Walk through a hardware aisle and huff random solvents.

          are you suggesting the nicotine isn’t a known-carcinogen?
