Yes. And I am fully against tobaco smoking. I am a ex-smoker and I hate it. But instead of using vaping to completely phase out tobaco smoking and than to phase out vaping also it gets taxed and demonized to keep smokers smoking and the youth is hooked on to disposable vapes from the tobaco companies.
Great job everyone. Capitalism at its best.
I am also an ex-smoker and hate smoking. I’d rather have my significant other who is a smoker though to rather vape because it doesn’t trigger my asthma and allergies. However cessation is sadly not an option for her right now because she already has depression and stuff and last time she tried stopping, she began to utter thoughts about actions I absolutely don’t want her to do.
Also vaping can eventually wean smokers off tobacco and make later cessation easier, because most people are really weary about the stuff I used to stop smoking (kratom and kanna) despite them being legal and far less dangerous than tobacco. Also smoking cessation is pretty damn hard and a lot of people here may be unaware how hard it is. Giving smokers options to an easier cessation or less dangerous nicotine consumption options should be the goal here.
The thing New Zealand did where everyone born after 2007 is banned from tobacco and nicotine products would be a decent action. I’d still be for nicotine free vaping as long as it isn’t throwaway products and strictly controlled. Maybe even allow THC vapes and psychedelics as long as they are controlled through state owned dispensaries like with Sweden and alcohol.
Also I am against alcohol and am abstinent from it.
Sorry to hear that about your significant other. Nicotine is a hell of a drug to stop and alcohol is also very bad. I also try to avoid it.
I had high hopes for vaping and a less toxic alternative for smokers…
