The frustrating part is vaping is an opportunity to actually encourage those who smoke cigarettes to do something far less bad for them. But instead all of those who have made a career on cessation, would be out of work.

So our governors ban vaping and people and make it actively harder to get.

London public health was actually smart and encouraged those who smoke to switch to vaping, and encouraged those who do not to not start vaping, still bad for you, but cigarettes are about 10 times worse, though less enjoyable than a cigarette.

And our governors say “what about the children”.



I don't think any politician or really very many people at all have really built a career on cessation. The reason they are trying to ban vaping is because the health effects are still not well understood.

There is also the fact that many people who never smoked are getting into vaping and becoming addicted to the nicotine all the same. Not as bad as cigarettes, but not a healthy habit either.
