    11 years ago I switched from a ten year pack a day cig habit and feel great. No complaints whatsoever. I feel healthier vaping in my 30s than I did smoking in my late teens and 20s.

    i quit cigs to vape instead and i feel GREAT! i was on nearly pack a day, despite only smoking for half a year. i was short of breath, tired, even coughed up blood at points.
    i then purchased a disposable 2%, then numerous refillables, not only did i save a shit ton of money, i am also down to 0.15% and gained a hobby. i can confortably go a day without vaping and i havent considered going back to cigs since.
    life saving techonolgies like this created by ingenious and creative minds is why i would like to become an engineer.
    my family has a horrible history with nicotine, with many needing hypnotherapy and other aids to quit.

    Here is my point of view; first off, nicotine vaping was invented by a pharmacist in 2003 after he experienced the death of his father from smoking. The design was improved and nic vape shops started to open across the country. Smokers found nic vaping was able to allow them to quit when nothing else worked. A cottage community was born and ex-smokers opened up more nic vape shops because they could help smokers and make a living doing it. Smoking rates started to plummet which disrupted the money flow to big tobacco, big healthcare, big pharma, State sin tax income and tobacco control/body parts non-profits (and the billionaires who used them as tax shelters). In 2018 big tobacco saw the writing on the wall and bought into Juul. The fore mentioned organizations enacted prohibitionist laws against flavored nic vaping across the country to protect their interests which proliferated a booming illicit market.
    Sweden will soon be a smokefree country because they have a well regulated tobacco harm reduction strategy in place (nic vaping, snus, heat not burn).
    If you smoke, please get to a vape shop and get a setup that you like. Slowly drop the nicotine level down if you wish and quit. Our youth are now smokefree (very low regular use of nic vaping at 2.6%) and adult smoking is the lowest ever recorded. Removed from the engineered addictive cigarette Nicotine is NOT a carcinogen and is NOT addictive but is dependence forming (like caffeine). With the advances in modern science we now know nic vaping is 95+% less harmful and much easier to quit.
    The outbreak of lung injuries often known as "EVALI" was nothing to do with nicotine vaping
    An examination of the evidence shows that EVALI cannot have been caused by nicotine vaping. The characteristics of the lung injury outbreak are consistent with localised supply chain contamination. The contaminant has been identified and is known to be Vitamin E Acetate. This had been used as a thickener or cutting agent in illicit Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabis vape pens. This agent cannot be mixed with nicotine vaping liquids and would serve no useful purpose if it could be. No other cause or causal agent has been identified that would both implicate nicotine liquids and be consistent with the geographical and temporal pattern of the lung injury outbreak.

    I left a passive-aggressive comment on an Instagram post saying a pink pretty vape isn't worth getting a cancer and its side effects. Instead, I got two responses. One asked how vaping is related to cancer, and the other one was telling me to calm down. I lost my dad to lung cancer 10 years ago, and I've seen how bad the chemotherapy was. It still haunts me today. And there isn't enough data to say it's harmful now.

    Someone in their final year of primary school in my area was caught with a vape in their bag. They had vaped in the bathroom twice without getting caught and had vaped on a school trip
