    The only study i will ever quote in my life at the moment is the study done by the UK royal college of physicians that said vaping is 95% safter than smoking. the problem with alot of studies saying how “this chemical was found its bad” that have been done in the past was that the fluid they used, the power level, the device how long it was fired for, etc… are so dynamic that it’s not conclusive.

    Honestly, I treat it like smoking, do you current smoke? if not, i probably wouldn’t vape. Do you smoke and want to quit or want to replace it with something else? then try a vape. Actually, Here in Canada, we were very strongly against selling e cigarettes to people who were not smokers (not saying we denied them service) because the message we were trying to get across was that this was a tool to reduce harm from tobacco. I have been vaping for 10 years now, and if i was not vaping, i would be smoking about a pack of cigarettes a day. some people have their vices in life, i don’t drink, i just enjoy nicotine.

      Oh man I used to skip straight to the Experiment setup section because almost every time it was designed with settings that NO ONE would vape at. Like that formaldehyde one, it was something crazy like 600+ degrees iirc. Like almost no one is going that high of a temp LMAO

      Nicotine users have gone way up since vaping was normalised, especially under children.

        That was more of an issue in the USA, where it was more available in convenience stores. I dont know about you, but i started smoking at 14, and the guy behind the counter didn’t really give a crap about my age. Here, before variety stores sold it, e cigarette shops ask for ID, and when we shipped product, the shipper (canada post) needed ID check from the person who bought it or they would send the package back (and you would be suprised how many teens tested this and how well it was enforced, we got between 15-20 back a week for failed ID)
