As it should be? It is disgusting, offers no benefit, creates a ton of plastic waste and gets children hooked to nicotine.

Vaping high quality CBD cartridges helped me through some serious situational depression and anxiety.

Of course some people told me that vaping was a "trash" thing to do, but thankfully I don't care and recognize that my needs are valid regardless of peoples' judgements!

It offered me the benifit of being the first successful eat to quit smoking two packs a day. I haven't had a cigarette in years, but I vape.

Disgusting? Truly? Everything else I’ll agree with you on, but disgusting isn’t a descriptor I associate with vaping. Certainly not in comparison to cigarettes!

>offers no benefit

Got me off of cigarettes. Seems like a pretty huge benefit to me.

People shouldn't be on them to begin with.

Wow, looks like you just solved it! You should go out and preach your gospel to all smokers, drinkers, and beef eaters. While you're at it please solve climate change and make everyone be nice to one another.

Yeah well obviously they are, but I always do love an HN "oh logical fallacy I win!" response.

My point is that your approach helps no one and has failed time and time again in the past. Remember D.A.R.E? How about abstinence health ed. programs? "Just say no" doesn't work. People like their vices. When a healthier alternative comes along it's a good thing.

Maybe in the US, but abstinence works in other countries. There should be investigations into why that is the case.

Agreed. Smoking and vaping are zero benefit activities that harm people and the environment. There should be a complete ban on smoking of all sorts.

Vaping as an alternative to smoking offers considerable benefits.

Agree entirely that it’s disgusting and attracts kids to the habit.

Problem is kids do stupid things and who has the right to decide for me if I get to do something disgusting?

Bigger issue for me is the talk of socialized healthcare where I’d have to pay the healthcare bills for people who smoke. Why should I have to pay for their bad habit?
