This reminds me of the "It looks just as stupid when you do it" anti-smoking poster[0], which was meant to dissuade smoking, but actually goes kind of hard.

Racking my brain if there's another poster that unintentionally goes as hard as this one.
Was working incredibly well up until vapes came along and every school kid had one.
I guess it might have had an impact but it's hard to tell for me with the impressive mishandling of vapes and now the black market.
While vaping has exploded, and while it isn't harmless, it's clearly safer than smoking so the current situation is still better.
There's a lot of anti-vaping FUD in the Oz media right now. Anecdotally a lot of people I speak with view it as more harmful than smoking. And legislation has made it extremely unpleasant and inconvenient to obtain low-nic vapes that don't taste like ass.
Fortunately every second convenience store sells high-nic illegal vapes under the counter, with $deity knows what chemicals inside. Yay?
Have you actually seen reputable evidence of this? Because I went looking for it at one point and as far as I can tell there isn't any. Just a bunch of entirely baseless FUD that I'm not entirely clear who is driving.
I did come across a few papers purporting to show toxic chemicals but when digging in they had exceptionally poor methodology regarding temperature and time. Like yeah if you get a custom vape and crank the temperature up until it's belching black smoke that's going to be bad for your health but that's neither here nor there.
