you always can choose to start or not. beyond that, addiction may or may not set in. but people can always choose to start and they can always choose their method of use.

weird how when it comes to tobacco people always think there are no decisions. have you never thought about it, like with your brain?

    Tobacco and vapes are nicotine delivery devices design to entrap addicts for life. This is why most vape companies are tobacco companies and why scumbags are selling nicotine pouches.

    Nicotine on its own is about as addictive as caffeine.

    It's the delivery system that the mental addiction is tethered to, not the substance.

    Regardless, multiple studies have shown that vaping is a successful method to quit smoking, and that vaping is significantly less harmful than smoking.

    Shit, even the heavy metal study that was misreported to sound scary had Vapes with concentrations that were either orders of magnitude lower than smoking, lower than the OSHA limits, and in some cases lower than atmospheric levels.
