Have you had said addiction, and if so have you tried to quit it?
I respect your opinion but I can’t really take a nicotine addict’s claim that the substance isn’t harmful, when the addict hasn’t actually ever quit the chemical.
Somehow along the way “quit” got subbed in with “vaping but it’s basically the same as quit.” Biggest marketing con the industry has ever pulled.
Turning quit into a waffle word takes away its impact and probably eases some psychological constraints for people.
What does my quitting have to do with its effects? If nicotine is dangerous it’s going to be that way if I quit of not.
