Really? I'm not seeing an exception for low or no nicotine juice.

I think it's more than nicotine. Aren't there still studies being done on these juice pod things to see the long term effects? We still don't know all of the health concerns and I believe there are a lot of negative concerns too.

I don't smoke cigs/nicotine at all but I smoke weed like a chimney. I will not yet use the "thc/cbd juice pods" or whatever because I have no idea wtf is actually in them. I'll stick to my herb for now thanks.

Was funny to see everybody hop to vapes as a "safe" alternative... You're inhaling a cloud of mystery chemicals. I've used carts but they always irked me because you dont know what's in it and sometimes the color changes. Meanwhile people used to smoke for decades and only got sick when they were old.

Money has nothing to do with anything, ever.

Give me a nice cigarette made with just tobacco and no additives. These are fine to enjoy and, in my experience not so addictive.

Smoking a high volume of cigarettes daily is a very bad idea though. Keep it to just once in a while and you have something that's probably beneficial in certain regards.

I've never tried e-cigarettes. The whole flavor thing seems stupid. I would be curious to try something that actually tastes like tobacco though. I wonder if they even have that.

I saw on the news the other day there were dozens of kids whose lungs were collapsing after use of ecigs. Some had gaping holes in their lungs

Vaping definitely isn't healthy, and people tend to abuse the **** out of vaping by taking 50

What about the taxes on regular cigarettes?

Nicotine doesn't do shit. It's like coffee. It's the tobacco and other chemicals inside cigarettes. I smoke a few sometimes when someone wants to share a smoke, but, it's backwards af to keep people pinned down to cigarettes. I know it's unhealthy but do it with caution.

They didn't ban e-cigs, just the fruity and sweet flavors that can be heavily marketed towards youth/teens.

Major cigarette brands had similar flavor trend back in early 00's, they had orange, vanilla, strawberry Winston packs. They started pushing them in magazines like candy. Those got banned almost immediately as well. Not quite sure how swisher/blacks still find the loophole with theirs

San Francisco region also had this law passed last year I remember.

But this is all pretty irrelevant for e-juice because it's easily obtainable and cheaper to purchase online, along with the kits to make nicotine juice yourself

Vaping's been putting people in coma's as of late from what I've seen.


Why in the hell would any sane, rational human being want to inhale toxins??


It's bad enough we have to deal with all these Mesothelioma commercials.

For quitting long term tobacco it's a great alternative. E-juice is a mixture of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin and nicotine. That's it

With e-juice you can slowly lower the nicotine level overtime eventually until you reach 0.

I smoked for 5 years, tired patch/gum with no luck. Vaped for a half year and immediately got off cigarettes with no cravings for nicotine at all anymore.

No smelly clothes, yellow teeth, hacking in the morning, sore throats that never go away. Vaping was a temporary savior for a $10 day terrible tobacco addiction

Vaping... you're better off smoking a cigar where the smoke doesn't enter your lungs.
