    I thought the comments section would be filled with vapes.

    Guys, i think vapes are a good candidate for something that hindsight will show us was dangerous, and i think images of teens smoking Juul will age as poorly as kids drinking beer.

      Yeah I came here expecting it as well - basically the successor to cigarettes and not been tested, yet they’re inhaling it into their lungs. It’s just crazy what peer pressure can do, and sad what addiction can.

        Eh, I smoked for years and switched to vaping. It’s by no means healthy but it is better if you do it moderately. Don’t burn your lungs to make “hella clouds bro” and buy a quality vape made from metal and cotton instead of burning plastic.

        As for the coughing but there’s an irony there. Nicotine numbs the cilia in the lungs but it’s short acting in that capacity. The tar from a cig would trap that nicotine and prevent irritation… Until the next morning when your body processed it out. That’s why smokers hack in the morning was a thing.

          Same here.
          I wish people would differentiate between single use vapes and classic box setup. I would absolutely vote yes for banning the single use e-waste vape pens, but please let me smoke just a bit healthier (and less smelly).
