    Yeah but stop pretending like vapes are some magic device to help with addiction. If they were actually meant to help with addiction they would be prescribed and come with additional medical help. Time after time we have seen this exact situation play out, something comes around to decrease addiction and does nothing more than induce it this is no different.

        Sure and that probrally comes with more than just vapes but also medical help and professional support, I doubt they just give you a prescription and say “here smoke this shit until you pass out”

          Right, but you said they didn’t help with addiction because no one prescribed them for it. I’ve been personally responsible for getting about 20 people off of cigarettes by introducing them to vaping with an open system. And many of them went on to quit vaping with relative ease.

          Vaping was created for the purpose of making it easy stopping smoking and to reduce harm. This was way before disposable vapes were a thing, back when people were modifying flashlights to heat coils.

          It’s a highly effective method to stop smoking because it not only does it contain the mildly addictive nicotine, it also replaces the action of smoking which is the truly addictive part.
