E-cigarettes were hailed as a tool to quit smoking. But these days, people are starting to smoke to get off of vapes.

E-cigarettes are there to keep you hooked on nicotine, just like nicotine patches. Addiction and attached profits is so attractive to any manufacturer (tobacco, e-gadgets, pharmaceutical) that they don’t want to help you quit.

I respect that you believe nicotine vapes are some sort of evil plot, but we know exactly how that plot is unfolding thanks to CDC surveys. I don't see any bad news here. NOTE: According to the FDA, nicotine patches are "not dependence-forming or subject to abuse."

You need your daily nicotine dose: smoke less but instead use patches or e-cigarettes. You can’t get rid of your nicotine fix once you start.

I quit drinking (vodka) by doing shots of tequila

😂

That’s one industry I’m glad I never started. I’ll stick with chocolate.

I got off of strychnine by switching to cynaide.

We are a nation of suckers on too many levels. From politics to religion to health improvement aids, so many are such easy marks. And there are plenty of bad people who know that.
