Yeah, that is basically my view on it. Vaping isn’t healthy, but it seems to be healthier than the alternatives. If you aren’t willing to ban all nicotine products, just tax it and treat it like other nicotine products.
The problem is that this is multiple times more addictive than earlier nicotine products. The previous generation in the US almost stopped smoking entirely then this reversed all progress.
Bigger and faster hits alongside fruity flavours and and easy to hide/disipate vapour. Everyone knew if you smoked in the boys room, it is a lot easier to vape in the boys room.
Plus you don’t have to commit like with a cigarette. The people I know who vape will just instinctively just pick it up and have a single huff’n’puff every couple of minutes, whereas when they were addicted to smoking it was five minutes of getting up, going outside and standing in the cold/rain/whatever, dealing with ash, dealing with the awful smell of stale smoke on their hands, etc. The lack of convenience with smoking cigarettes meant they’d only have one once every three-quarters of an hour or so most of the time, whereas the vaping is constant.
I also find that somehow people removed nicotine as one of the harmful components of cigarettes and consider it very acceptable in vaping and the “healthy alternative” to smoking. Many smokers I’ve met consider themselves a very succesful quitter by switching to vaping, yet their wallets still bleed for big tobacco companies.
