Yes, they are. Liberal Veteran Aug 2015 #75
I have a hypothesis about why Big Tobacco Mariana Aug 2015 #78
No, you don't Aerows Aug 2015 #81

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. Juicy_Bellows Aug 2015 #74
I am reminded of the Hope/Cosby "road" movie (Road to Morocco?) when Eleanors38 Aug 2015 #99
Please, let's quit equating vapor with smoke meow2u3 Aug 2015 #26
Wait, hold on. LeftyMom Aug 2015 #32
If that chain smoker was a chain vaper you wouldn't have had to do that. Juicy_Bellows Aug 2015 #35
Yeah, but that poster was talking about cig smoking in the same breath. LeftyMom Aug 2015 #44

Having to monitor and taper your dose is addiction. LeftyMom Aug 2015 #33
Its all the same is it? beevul Aug 2015 #39
Yes, and tapering off is a valid way to eliminate an addiction. Mariana Aug 2015 #41
The poster is denying that it's addiction at all because they can taper. LeftyMom Aug 2015 #46
Addiction from nicotine via vape is on par with caffeine addiction, not cigarette addiction. beevul Aug 2015 #50
Ah, may I ask... Newest Reality Aug 2015 #51
Fair questions. Eleanors38 Aug 2015 #72
There is a difference between addiction and dependency meow2u3 Aug 2015 #48
24 to 6! That's fantastic! Mariana Aug 2015 #52
There seems to be a visceral hatred of, and bigotry against, nicotine use meow2u3 Aug 2015 #54

I think they don't like that people are stopping smoking Mariana Aug 2015 #60

I said that, not the DEA… MrMickeysMom Aug 2015 #103
"But, I'm GUESSING that one habit would also follow the other." U4ikLefty Aug 2015 #108
I think there ARE no experts on vaping... MrMickeysMom Aug 2015 #115
You still have provided no evidence to your silly assertions. U4ikLefty Aug 2015 #126
I don't see how it would be a gateway to smoking. Liberal Veteran Aug 2015 #111
Placing tobacco and vaping on equal ground is the point... MrMickeysMom Aug 2015 #116
