In addition to people using vaping to inhale nicotine they are also using it with cannabis.
It provides the same effect without inhaling any smoke.
It’s a drug delivery device.
Ping.
I will stipulate that it’s better than inhaling smoke, but it is a drug delivery device that is presently used for delivering the addictive drug nicotine, but which has all sorts of other uses, and unintended consequences. These things should be FDA regulated and subject to the same controls as other medical devices. That will not reduce their effectiveness as an alternate way of delivering nicotine.
You cannot regulate the free market or human behavior. Many have tried. All have failed miserably.
The root of this whole discussion is the bureaucratic regulation of human commerce.
It rarely (if ever) works well, and it always results in unintended consequences (usually negative).
Frequently, the “solution” is worse than the “problem”.
I’ve got three of the liquid vapes and two of the dry types.
These things are great and instead of nearly three packs a day it’s more like 5-6 butts per day. Three different flavors, usb chargers, a different buzz for any occasion or whim. This old guy is pleased with the scene.
