The incidence of US high school kids trying vaping is currently doubling every month, or nearly—something like this. Vaping has MUCH more nicotine than a pack of cigarettes.

At current rates 100% of Americans will be addicted to nicotine within 10 years. Nicotine is terribly addictive.

Is this something we want as a nation?

You can make all the ejuice with varying amounts of nicotine. Including zero nicotine. ....just saying. ..

positive effects of nicotine:

negative effects of nicotine:

Looks like any other drug which has positive and negative effects. Which in my opinion should be over the counter.
What stood out for me was positive effects are some of the most pressing issues we have today for kids.
such as
1. "promote discharge neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine which are involved in cognitive functions"
2. Stimulating the central nervous system, altering brain waves and increasing the levels of some neurotransmitters also play a role in the antidepressant properties. Some medics regularly prescribe nicotine as an antidepressant.
3. "reduce estrogen levels"
4. Treat Schizophrenia
5. Manage Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
6. Increase Brain Waves

Killer bees, acid rain, global cooling, global warming, Y2K, Alar... Beware of issue the media over hypes.

I don’t see that it’s any of the government’s business.

You are soooo totally ignorant on vaping!! It’s already illegal to sell to minors!! The nicotine levels are a fraction of what was available several years ago!!
