useful products (-huffing paint comes to mind). Anyway it's a challenge to prove that the manufacturers & sellers "knew" what they actually knew...look how long "big
tobacco" companies avoided paying settlements...or big oil companies whose research on air pollution was swept under their rug. Seems like the original purpose to vape
was promoted (falsely) as a way for smokers to actually quit. Wink wink... It's not being used that way most of the time, it's just another addiction, thanks to the many
promoters making it look "cool" & adding flavors (& who knows what?) to hook those younger & unwary...it's just a repeat of the cigarette playbook.
Well I have to say it is easier to quit vaping than it is to quit smoking. I started with 2 packs a week. When I went to vaping I started on 12mg. Now I am down to 1.5mg I am hoping to switch to 0 mg soon. I have basically cut down my nicotine intake quite a bit. I am hoping that when I goto 0 that it will not be too big of a deal. Going from 12mg to 6mg was a bit rough, but 6 to 3 and 3 to 1.5 was easy. Everytime the government wants to ban something they find some way to say we have to ban it for the kids. Its ridiculous. If we wanted to do something for the kids we should make smoking age 21. I'm sorry but everytime the government feels like banning something they always use kids as an excuse. The person keeping kids away from vaping shouldn't be the government it should be the parents. Vaping is already 18+ what more do you want? Yea lets ban vaping so that a black market arises, and causes more damage than when it was legal. I just dont see the point in banning something for the kids when its already 18+.
Also I highly doubt vape companies went after kids. It would be stupid to do so after what happened to the tobacco companies.
