    This article is total bullshit.

    It claims at one point that vapes are being marketed as “nicotine-free” “despite containing nicotine” and then links to another article on their own site that makes the claim that vapes marketed as “nicotine-free” “most likely still contain nicotine” to support that assertion.

    This definitely doesn’t belong in a science community.

    didn’t read it all but in my experience people will buy anything from a gas station and smoke it. bath salts, caffeine pills, corn chips… It’s safe. not. addictive check. sociollogy i guess.

    As George Carlin said, young people buy nicotine products because they relieve stress. I was on my way to quitting (cigarettes > vape > much less vape) when the pan hit. I kept vaping cause I allowed myself a comfort. I’m still vaping. I’m in my 40s.

    That makes no sense. You buy cigarettes the same way you buy a vape. This is click bait.

      Not just clickbait, either. Straight up lies.

      They cite their own article, INCORRECTLY I might add, to say “nicotine free vapes aren’t nicotine free”.

      I mean, if this is the scientific standard people listen to nowadays, I have some bridges that need selling. scientifically
