Most kids aren’t vaping anything with nicotine in it. Most are vaping 0mg juices and trying to look cool blowing clouds. Nicotine isn’t a super addictive chemical, it’s about as addictive as caffeine. Smoking cigarettes and vaping are habit forming, it’s why almost all smoking cessation forms fail multiple times for people.
Nicotine is not incredibly addictive, the habit of smoking is. It’s why NRT have basically a 95% failure rate.
Habits forming actions like biting your nails, are also incredibly hard to stop and their is no underlying drug there.
The who nicotine is bad for you and causes cancer is also bullshit. The bad science that was used against smoking and still used today was done for the public good. It’s why a lot of studies are starting to come out that, nicotine isn’t what’s the issue…the inhalation of smoke and the habit of doing so are.
I just quit vaping like a week or two ago and it was fucking miserable for a week straight. Caffeine isn’t nearly as bad when I’ve quit that, but nicotine withdrawals are fucking horrible and they feel like they last forever.
I quit caffeine and it took me 2 weeks of shakes and fevers to get over it. The withdrawals were horrible. I smoke cigars and pipe tobacco regularly and quit every winter with no issues.
Why do you think nicotine is not very addictive? I saw several studies that called it a highly addictive substance (for example this review about e-cigarettes). By the way, the review is overall very interesting and worth reading.
That sounds like some D.A.R.E. bullshit. If that’s the case then I’d be perfectly fine trying heroin once because I won’t get addicted to it. I’ve tried nicotine a few times, now, and I have less than zero interest in trying it again. You can make your point without being hyperbolic
You probably wouldn’t get addicted to heroin on the first try… Have you never taken opiate painkillers? Were you immediately addicted after your first dose? Sounds like DARE failed you as well.
You do not get the same high with nicotine as you do with heroin. It’s a bullshit lie told to kids to keep them from smoking. So many of you seem to have swallowed this crap hook line and sinker.
And you’ve demonstrated that you don’t understand what addiction is or how it works. Its not about the strength of the high you mope its about how the chemical interacts with your brain
Nicotine is about as addictive as caffeine. It sucks but the habit is what causes people to stay addicted. It’s why nicotine replacement treatments don’t work, and why vaping has a way higher success rate of getting people to stop than anything pharma companies have come up with.

Yes the same FDA who pushes for NRT…the same NRT that have people failing to quit…and committing suicide while on them…also no where in your link does it show what mg kids are vaping.
ASH surveys showed a rise in the prevalence of ever use of e-cigarettes from 7% (2016) to 11% (2017) but prevalence of regular use did not change remaining at 1%. In summary, surveys across the UK show a consistent pattern: most e-cigarette experimentation does not turn into regular use, and levels of regular use in young people who have never smoked remain very low.
1% is what your looking at for kids that get addicted to vaping…

That data is 6 years out of date and times have massively changed. Seriously, just go walk down the street after the kids have finished school for the day and your eyes will be opened.
This report is from 2 years ago so still out of date, but you can see the change that happened just in the 4 years between this and the one you linked:
Under half (43.0%) of 11 to 18 year olds who were current and former vapers reported always using vaping products that contained nicotine – 17.3% reported always using nicotine-free products. Three out of five (61.3%) 16 to 19 year olds who had vaped in the past 30 days used nicotine in their current product – 17.3% said their product did not contain nicotine.
Over half (58.2%) of 16 to 19 year olds who had vaped in the past 30 days did not feel addicted to vaping but 38.5% said they felt a little or very addicted.
Just under a fifth (18.4%) of current vapers aged 11 to 18 reported experiencing urges to vape almost all the time or all the time.
More 11 to 18 year olds who had tried vaping said they had:…
tried a vaping product and never tried smoking (28.9%)
I mean I can back up my claims. This isn’t rocket science. Most kids in the smoking years (50-00s) started smoking to look cool and older…hell there are even studies that show most people hate it at first.
there is much public misunderstanding about nicotine (less than 10% of adults understand that most of the harms to health from smoking are not caused by nicotine)
Studies by Quik and others involving rats, mice and nonhuman primates have since found similar effects. In short, by driving dopamine, nicotine appeared to ease the tremors and tics caused by Parkinson’s, and even the movement disorder induced by the major Parkinson’s drug.

Soooo? We were talking specifically about nicotine and caffeine, not smoking and drinking coffee. Burning organic compunds is very nasty ofc. Again “it is useless at best”.
Tobacco contains nicotine along with many other chemicals, but nicotine by itself is fairly harmless.

bullshit
nicotine is incredibly addictive - and it’s very hard to break. and no, caffeine is less addictive. Much less addictive.

Congrats on quitting. That took a lot of determination, I’m sure.

Nicotine is on the same level of addictiveness as heroin and cocaine lol.

Lmfao.
The review study I linked says vaping doesn’t have higher success rate when it comes to stopping.
The FDA would disagree.

Nicotine is highly addictive. Nice try Mr. Big Tobacco.

What evidence do you have that this is not detrimental to their health and development? Because as far as I know, no major studies have been done.
Are you asking if nicotine is bad for you or ???
That isn’t true, Elf bars and Lost Marys are so easy for kids to get hold of and it is 100% what they’re using.

Thanks, troll, for mixing valid points with blatant bullshit.
Also caffeine is neurotoxin.

I didn’t compare harm, I was saying that caffeine is very useful neurotoxin. Meanwhile nicotine is completely useless at best.

Nicotine isn’t the harmful drug the anti-tobacco groups have you believing.

See. Useless at best.
