Do e-cigarettes actually work?
Do e-cigarettes actually work?
I have a friend who has been using an e-cigarette for 10+ years. He doesn't seem any less addicted to smoking as back when he was using old-fashioned cigarettes.
I understand e-cigarettes are supposed to help you quit... but has anyone actually had success with them? Or, is it more like trading one vice for another?
You're viewing a single thread.
It depends by user really, but I've seen people getting addicted to all of the different fruity tastes even more than nicotine. E-cigs with taste have been outlawed in my country recently for that reason - people, especially young, often really vape/e-smoke for the flavours, untill they actually become addicted to nicotine in them. And, of course, the pandemic of single-use e-cigs which promote polution and are made with slave labour.
Why can't we just enforce laws against selling to minors, rather than ban a product that I, an adult, enjoy consuming and is much better for my health?
Because it's not possible to enforce. And I'm not talking about minors, but they suffer in result too. In my country these things were hot selling things so often sellers wouldn't check ID, and even then, it's not like asking an older brother to buy you something doesn't exist. It's just much worse than with alcohol or regular cigarettes because young people and minors often don't like those.
