        Try these hollow-point bullets instead; they're practically lead-free! So much healthier than the leaded kind.

        Selling vaping as 'safe' is a lie. Pretending nicotine addiction is harmless is a lie.

        except that e-liquids also have NO nicotine. So there's that.

        Not true. What IS true is that users can control the amount of nicotine they vape and it CAN be as little as none.

        Exactly! Here in the US, Starbucks is a giant "drug delivery device" for caffeine.

        ignores that tons of cigarette smokers have used e-cigs to STOP smoking. Much healthier alternative.

        So you actually prefer ppl smoking to using DRAMATICALLY less hrmful products? Science says AT LEAST 95% less harm.

        Not correct. There r now many concerns about e-cigs & it looks like some countries are considering banning them.
