I'd vape that nic. Especially if I was running low.

But then, my taste is shot. And I was silly enough to willingly inhale eleventy bazillion weird arsed nasty chemicals in smoke for many years. So I clearly have no sense ....

*shrug*


Prolly better listening to the sensible advice already offered earlier!

Big congrats to you!


An achievement worthy of a happy dance!  It feels good, doesn't it?

Yep. ^^ What he said ^^ Unflavoured is a viable choice - especially in rotation with other flavours.

That's where my simplistic view ("vaping is for adults") falls down.

I recognise it. But how do you draw up rules/laws that tread the line between not encouraging use of vape gear as "toys" by the young, yet still make vaping available to those who best benefit?

Well done GunJack in guiding your young one to a better way.

Interesting.

I see the issue of "underage vaping" can be just as contentious here in the UK as elsewhere in the world.

Legally there are minimum ages for purchasing and consuming alcohol and cigarettes. Yet I see underage folk consuming those products. I am not particularly comfortable with that situation but it seems we as a society are unable to prevent it. But, to be fair, I do not have kids of my own so it would also be somewhat unreasonable to push my ideas onto those who do face that problem.

I hear of underage kids vaping. I even see them posting videos of their exploits in mainstream media. That also makes me somewhat uncomfortable, just as underage drinking and smoking does. Right or wrong, I regard vaping as an "adult" activity primarily to help smokers kick that habit - just as it did for me. But again, with no kids of my own, it would be wrong to impose my ideas on others who are in the tough position of needing to make those calls when raising their offspring.

I do read about the risks of vaping. It is my firm belief that, in the long term, Vaping is likely to be far less harmful to the user than smoking. Based on that, wouldn't the pragmatic position with regard to underage users be "best neither smoking nor vaping, but, if you must, then vape"?

Yet I admit that logical position still leaves me feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

I do not envy those of you faced with those challenges in your daily lives.


**But I have no time for the self important muppets who try to promote silly ideas like "fruity flavours are only to encourage kids to take up vaping". Damn you! Forget about the kids, I want those flavours for myself!


** EDIT - you'd think Vaping had been proven to cause cancer based on the way the Australian Cancer Council actively and strongly advocates against vaping....

Big congrats to you. That's quite an achievement.
