        If you're a smoker, read about the benefits of switching to e-cigarettes, which are at least 95% safer than smoking. Read here:https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/projects/outputs/nicotine-without-smoke-tobacco-harm-reduction …

        Same lies,I was a teenager in the 80s and most kids smoked actual cigarettes that kill 1 out of every 2 lifetime users,I only wish vaping was around then because many of my friends would still be alive today.

        I smoked for about 30 years,I tried all the nicotine alternatives,and couldn't stop,finally in December of 2014 my doctor told me I must quit,at the time free samples were available. It wasn't that great at first but I stuck with it,eventually completely quitting.

        Want to see a reduction in youth usage? STOP letting the groups like @truthinitiative advertise during kids shows and on kids channels. THEY have done more to advertise to underage users than any other group. Clean up the tobacco control groups and tobacco could be under control.

        Your right but they are going about this in the wrong way. They should be looking at a nicotine cap, keep them from wanting the buzz and test those they catch them with for drugs. They are displaying risk taking. Teens have always been doing that. Also pods are very concealable

        When there were nothing but open systems on the market they worked for people to stop smoking because they give visual feedback you have vaped but can not be concealed. When those hit like juul that’s when teens were drawn to them. 50 mgs of nicotine is the attraction

        I think you meant prevents not posses. The significant risk is combustible tobacco. Kids shouldn't use either but be realistic. We where all teens at some point. Teens will do what they are told not to. Punish them if they get caught. Don't punish those not involved.

        If they are going to be rebellious isn't it better they are using something 95% safer than combustible tobacco? The issue is toxic black market products plain and simple. Banning commercial, regulated, safe products from adults is just going to make problems bigger.
