In reply to the discussion: Cigarette smoking among U.S. adults lowest ever recorded [View all]The Liberal Lion
(1,414 posts)20. I don't think it's fair to equate vaping with cigs
You know as a former vaper yourself that's not a good equivalency. I vape, I love to vape. I make my own juice, and I have a tremendous collection of mods and atomizers, and I haven't as a result touched a cigarette in 5 years. I smoked for 20 years, and then quit smoking by vaping in 3 months. Am I addicted to nicotine, vaping? probably considering the mad stacks of loot I spend on my collection. Whatever, it's heads and shoulders better than smoking. Perhaps not in the manner that I vape, but certainly vaping as a public health matter should be encouraged to smokers, even if those smoking quitters end up becoming vape junkies like me. Just my two cents on the matter.

Yeah, because the adults who did get addicted to smoking regularly are dying.
