Interesting. I’m curious what is the “older one”?

The cheap, synthetic nicotine that’s sold in minimarts and preferred by our government (no surprise) does that almost immediately. I consider them very dangerous. Sadly, most teens don’t have the money for the good ones that can only be sold by licensed smoke shops. I’ve been vaping 2 years now and never cough. I bought a cheap one once before I knew, developed a horrible cough and developed a gravely voice. I pitched it and the problems resolved.

Trazadone is almost forgotten as an antidepressant but is still used as a hypnotic. I’m actually getting both benefits from it which is a bonus. I’m not waking up feeling down now.

“The Israeli Association of Public Health Physicians called for greater preventive measures to block the sale of tobacco products to children and urged a ban on electronic cigarettes.”

Vape pens are not a tobacco product as they are used with just about anything. And if this kid had been smoking traditional cigarettes he would not even be sick at this point in his life.

We are coming to a time when lifespans for ordinary folks are about to drastically lower. Maybe all of human kind will be wiped out in the end. It will be if there is no intervening God.

I don’t buy it. I vaped for a short time after quitting cigarettes. It turned me back to the ciggybuts. I never did inhale the vapes though.

Let people live and choose the method of their demise.

Wait so you quit smoking, then went to vaping, then the vaping made you start smoking again? Did you ever quit?

This was the headline in every paper before the coronavirus pandemic. People tried to vape an oil based THC product They bought on the street from some guy. When the oil heats it coats the lungs.

This has absolutely nothing to do with people quitting smoking with harm reduction nicotine electronic cigarettes. It’s a scare tactic
