One other important thing to note is this: vaping was introduced as a way to quit smoking cigarettes, but now, as backed by numerous studies, we see that, not only just a very small percentage of smokers leave cigarettes completely and opt for vaping, but also, a lot of people (especially kids and teenagers) that would have never smoked cigarettes in their entire life, are introduced to the habit and gesture of smoking by vaping. This means that vaping is doing the opposite of what it was advertised to do, it is a road that leads towards, and not away from, cigarettes.
Why do you think there are some many flavors to decide between when vaping? Strawberry, chocolate etc. are just the basic ones to pick from.They are tasty and colorful. They are targeted towards kids. The tobacco industry found a new way to advertise itself and to enter the homes of innocent people. Imagine this: a 12 year old has been taught that cigarettes are bad. He decides he will never smoke one. One day, he passes by a vaping shop with his edgy friends and they decide to buy a nicotine-free juice with some brand new vapers. It tastes good and you can do all kinds of fat clouds with it. Wow! Plus, it's not cigarettes so there's nothing to worry about. After a few months the nicotine-free juice is not edgy enough for these young teenagers, so they decided to buy the one with a small percentage of nicotine. Now they can prove how badass they are. During this period of time they acquired not only the habit to go in and out a vaping shop, but most importantly the gesture of sucking a stick and inhale the fumes from it. They are psychologically dependent on it. But the nicotine-filled juice is not edgy anymore, so what's next? Cigarette of course! In this way innocent kids that would have never picked up a cigarette start smoking, thanks to vaping. It's a sneaky move the Tobacco industry studied and they fooled all of us.
My personal experience: I smoked for 3 years and quit 1 year ago. While first trying to quit, I used vaping as a mean to succeed. No need to say, not only I started vaping, but I kept smoking MORE cigarettes than ever before. This is just my personal experience of course, but it shows a little the uselessness and damage of vaping.
