Vaping is terrible; do not do it, folks.

    Vaping is terrible, but i still prefer smokers blowing their strawberry-cheesecake-flavour in my face rather than a burning stinky cigarette or cigars. As to the app: WTF?!?!

      Vaping is an INCREDIBLE tool, for existing smokers.

      I know more smokers than I can count, myself included, who successfully quit smoking with vaping, and then quit vaping with ease.

      I smoked for over 20 years and had well over 15 failed quitting attempts under my belt before a very smooth transition to vaping, and then eventually dropping it too.

      Everyone needs to stop painting it as entirely bad.

      But just like any quit smoking aid - should a non-smoker start the patch? No. Should a non-smoker start pouches? NO. Should a non-smoker start vaping? Absolutely not.

      Should we paint it as entirely evil and blanket discourage EVERYONE from doing it though?? No. It can help get us to a world with less smoking over all, and less cancer and other associated illness, suffering, expenses and deaths.

        Nonono, you’re totally right! When i quit smoking I would’ve killed for a vaping-device to slowly fade it out instead of cold turkey. My comment might’ve come across as totally against vaping, that wasn’t my intention. And congrats for having quit :-)

        @[email protected] First of all, congrats on quitting smoking!
        Don’t get me wrong, this post is about the absurdity of the tokenization of vaping.
        I included that disclaimer because I felt it was important to state that vaping is, in general, a terrible thing and a bad option for anyone trying to get rich quick.
