    Ya but what pisses me off is that vaping ≠ nicotine. Secondhand vapour is far less of a problem than secondhand tobacco smoke, and that’s before factoring in nicotine-free flavours. Banning it everywhere in the same thread as cigarettes is ridiculous and shouldn’t be respected.

      Ok… But most people aren’t vaping non-nicotine juice. You’re technically correct that it exists, but who cares? That’s not the issue, the issue is that it has hooked a new generation of smokers.

        You’d be surprised… Nicotine salts are pretty controlled in much of the world so many teenagers are just vaping flavour. Vaping with nicotine was more a thing among recovering smokers.

        Zynns are a different story… Those are stupid amounts of Nicotine and pretty popular.

          No, I really wouldn’t be surprised because I’ve been vaping for a decade, starting from enthusiast roots with high end mods and coil builds and then settling down into refillable tanks and off the shelf atomizers and juice.

          As a former smoker I used ecigs to get off of nicotine by tapering down my nic content until I’m vaping 0 nic, which is HARD TO FIND on the shelf because nobody wants it. A lot of time the juice flavors are off/spoiled because they’re sitting for so long.

          It’s NOT very common. Does it happen? Yes. But the whole thing is a pain in the ass and it doesn’t “look cool” like smoking did at one point, so kids aren’t just doing it for style points.
