    Because they’re worse than regular cigarettes for multiple reasons. You tend to inhale longer and more deeply which is worse for your lungs, you might even smoke more since you don’t feel the smoke and they don’t really fix the whole craving, they were at least in the EU also more popular among young kids and generally more addicting.

      I’m no expert. My natural reaction is those arguments sound specious. But not out of the question. Do you have a link to something solid. Reporting/research to share on this. Would be interesting if true. Like I said I’m not an expert. Not even a smoker. Had no one in my immediate family has smoked since the mid-1980s. So I have little doubt there are gaps in my knowledge.

        You can fairly easily find several studies if you look up the EU ban in your favored search engine.
