More than a third of young adults are vaping and many of them are doing it even though they know vapes contain nicotine, Cancer Council data shows
This article is total bullshit.
It claims at one point that vapes are being marketed as "nicotine-free" "despite containing nicotine" and then links to another article on their own site that makes the claim that vapes marketed as "nicotine-free" "most likely still contain nicotine" to support that assertion.
This definitely doesn't belong in a science community.
Additionally, there are nicotine free vapes and they're easy to identify if you spend 5 seconds looking at what you're buying. This is just another hit piece against vaping, citing itself as a reputable source, and making absolutely no point. They don't really say anything meaningful and instead just waive their hands around, acting as if what they're saying is troublesome. Even their headline is misleading and vapid.
That makes no sense. You buy cigarettes the same way you buy a vape. This is click bait.
Not just clickbait, either. Straight up lies.
They cite their own article, INCORRECTLY I might add, to say "nicotine free vapes aren't nicotine free".
I mean, if this is the scientific standard people listen to nowadays, I have some bridges that need selling. scientifically
As George Carlin said, young people buy nicotine products because they relieve stress. I was on my way to quitting (cigarettes > vape > much less vape) when the pan hit. I kept vaping cause I allowed myself a comfort. I’m still vaping. I’m in my 40s.
They do provide the brief illusion of stress relief, but physiologically they pretty much do the opposite by getting you into chronic nicotine withdrawals.
I'm very lucky that nicotine just makes me feel nauseous and sick, it's also really uncomfortable to inhale.
That was my experience with the first two or three cigarettes I had. It went away very quickly. I smoked for seven years and thankfully have now been smoke-free longer than that.
Get this guardian crap out of here.
Doesn't Austalia have a zero tolerance campain against cigararettes? Could vape be the only alternative for some people?
Other way around, banning non-medical use vapes while making cigarettes prohibitively expensive via taxes. The UK on the other hand is banning cigarette sales to those born on or after 1/1/09.
You can ban the bad thing or ban medical care for bad things because of the bad thing. 🤷♂️
Sounds reasonable and not a Daily Mail link. 47 up/27 down. Thought I read Big Nic was diversifying into addictive foods beyond nicotine.

I dont get it. Big tobacco owns the vaping industry. So why would they sponsor an article that makes availability seem bad?
