Vaping helped me quit a 15 year- two pack a day habit and for many smokers like myself it is a great smoking cessation tool. That being said, in the five years since I’ve quit smoking and vaping altogether I’ve watched vaping go from a smoking cessation aid to a gateway for non-smokers to find addiction in something new when they would have otherwise not smoked cigarettes.
The problem as always is that the vaping industry is way too lucrative a business. Proper oversight and regulation would cut profits and mitigate the ability for companies like Philip Morris and Juul Labs to create lifelong customers.
