i was a tobacco user for roughly ten years, equivalent of 2-5 cigarrettes a day max. The month i picked up a juul that amount effectively 10x'ed. I feel bad for all these kids who are going to leave high school with a stronger nicotine tolerance and dependence than some 40 year chain smokers.


This is why I never tried it. I bet I would like it, a lot. And with cigarettes you have to go outside, you smell bad, etc., these things have none of those problems. It just looks very easy to get hooked on them.


There's no negative feedback loop to vaping, its like if you could drink with no hangovers.


*that we know about. There's a lot of people worried about long term effects and possibly even brain damage.


Via what mechanism would vaping nicotine cause brain damage that isn't caused by cigarettes? The glycol?


That's what further research would provide.
