A vape can be much cheaper than cigarettes and you get the benefit of not inhaling smoke and smelling like smoke. You can also begin reducing the amount of nicotine in your vape juice without reducing the amount of time you spend vaping. Most brands offer numerous levels of nicotine from something that's a little stronger than regular cigarette down to none.

I do.

OK but what does this have to do with expressing ourselves accurately?

You've created your own definition and now expect us to accept it, which I don't.

Nicotine is the thing people obsess over, but there are far more harmful substances than nicotine in tobacco cigarettes (for example, radioactive elements Polonium-210 and lead-210), and there are MAOIs that make the nicotine in tobacco smoke far more addictive.

All the smokers I know want to quit smoking, not nicotine.. Smoking is 99% of the problem with cigarettes, and nicotine is 1%.
