    They replaced smoking with vaping and other ROAs. I’m pretty sure the past decade+, % of teens addicted to nicotine would be far greater than teen smokers in the 90s.

    I’m in my mid 40s and I’m constantly bombarded with Vaping PSA ads on Reddit. I don’t vape.

      Ya but what pisses me off is that vaping ≠ nicotine. Secondhand vapour is far less of a problem than secondhand tobacco smoke, and that’s before factoring in nicotine-free flavours. Banning it everywhere in the same thread as cigarettes is ridiculous and shouldn’t be respected.

        Ok… But most people aren’t vaping non-nicotine juice. You’re technically correct that it exists, but who cares? That’s not the issue, the issue is that it has hooked a new generation of smokers.
