The puritanical sobriety squad wants to outlaw vaping. But vaping has been the greatest Public Health Triumph since vaccines, getting people off of smoking.
Nicotine is a drug, it has effects, but it is not inherently harmful. Inhaling smoke is.
Now what they put in with the nicotine might not be good for you, especially the flavors.
But it is not killing a half a million people a year just in the US as smoking did. Instead of banning it we should be honestly trying to make it safer.
The FDA is on the side of banning it completely and using the making it safer argument to dishonestly curtail the entire industry for these Puritans running articles like this and drug companies looking to monopolize the quit smoking market.
This article is total bullshit.
It claims at one point that vapes are being marketed as “nicotine-free” “despite containing nicotine” and then links to another article on their own site that makes the claim that vapes marketed as “nicotine-free” “most likely still contain nicotine” to support that assertion.
This definitely doesn’t belong in a science community.
That makes no sense. You buy cigarettes the same way you buy a vape. This is click bait.
Not just clickbait, either. Straight up lies.
They cite their own article, INCORRECTLY I might add, to say “nicotine free vapes aren’t nicotine free”.
I mean, if this is the scientific standard people listen to nowadays, I have some bridges that need selling. scientifically
Get this guardian crap out of here.
