    Walking around NYC, I'm struck by the number of people vaping as they stroll by.

        I mean, nicotine is a poison, and breathing in any foreign substance isn't healthy, as a whole we need to stop preaching idiocy.

        You really need to catch up with the latest research that shows that isn't true. In fact the path back to smoking is littered with lies

        about how dangerous vaping is compared to smoking. Most of those lies coming from public health.

        Coming up to 4.5 years for me. The only path I've seen is the one OUT of smoking and that's really short.

        And none of the data indicates vapers are returning to smoking. Quite the opposite. So I don't really know where this so-called 'path back to smoking' nonsense comes from.
