Went from “vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking” to “ban it, think of the children” in only 5 years…

How much did the reversal cost Phillip Morris and RJR, do you suppose?

It does seem like loads of kids vape these days, and rather openly as well.

Disposable vapes should be banned because of the waste, and they should do the blank packaging approach for vapes/vape juice.

Just because it’s better than smoking doesn’t mean it’s good, and nobody really knows the long term health effects.

@li10 @aelwero (do we not have long term data on use of nicotine by inhalation? )

Not exclusively. Nicotine inhalation traditionally has been in combination with the rest of the chemicals and tar in cigarettes.

Personally… yes? I know some vapers who have been around in the industry for almost 20 years. I’ve heard reports around x-rays of older vapers coming out nearly the same as a nonsmoker.

The real enemy of nicotine inhalation seems to have more to do with what carries it rather than the nicotine itself.

@BlinkerFluid My impression also.
Any practical nicotine effects have been submerged in the smoking harms, which argues they are smaller, if not small.
