It's absolutely not. Far far less harmful, though more addictive (and still a bit harmful).

No such thing as "addiction" but I get your drift. 

Why are people spending money to inhale flavoured steam that you don't get a buzz out of though?

Madness.

We don't know this for certain. Not been around long enough to see long term impact.

They do get a buzz...rammed with nicotine

Most of them feed their addiction by not buying socks.

It's the most effective method of getting folk to stop smoking, so any effect has to be judged against the risks of smoking cigarettes. There's enough evidence that vaping is way safer, from long enough (stuff similar to vaping has been about for decades).

Not that it's important, but I've never smoked or vaped, and I think that people vaping look ridiculous. But it's been a fantastic way to get folk off cigarettes, and saved loads of lives. We should celebrate it.

Fed up of the hand wringing in the media about kids vaping.

Now, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be thrilled if my kids were doing it, and I'm sure it's not harmless, but when I was a kid it seemed like everyone smoked fags and I can't believe that vaping is worse than that.

Why - its just leading to folk living longer, ageing population, taking more pension plus costing us more to look after them - let the folk that dont look after themselves die off due to natural selection/darwanism - leave more of the Earth to those that can look after themselves.

You'd have to be a real lightweight to get a buzz off nicotine surely? Like caffeine.

It is only poofters and women who vape surely so maybe they do.

Hands up to being a vaper. Smoked since I was 14, could never have kicked them without the vape. 

Can see the government going after it soon in the name of health but even the NHS endorse vaping as a means to kick the smokes. The disposable things should be made harder to buy, every ethnic shop is rammed with them and easily bought by kids.

I like the New Zealand plan for smoking, raise the legal buying age by 1 every year.

If it's purely getting folk of cigs and then nicotine entirely, then smashing. However, it isn't. Like I said, guys at work vape now after having never smoked previously. 
 

they do look ridiculous though

Valid. Don't smoke, so not sure. But, a coffee doesn't do anything for me in terms of 'buzz'. 

[daytripping]

Vape feeds the nicotine addiction, that's about it. It's not a buzz. Not really enjoyable either but good excuse for getting away from the desk at work. I must do much less hours work than the non smokers.

It's an addiction, if it was easy to get off nicotine no one would smoke.

@tutankamun should have a fair bit of input into this particular Thread O, I would hope. 

David Grusch... whistleblower or bullshitter? 

 

I believe he believes everything he's saying.

Whether or not its true is an entirely different question.

Being an avid follower and listener to all things UFO/UAP I've been following this story with a lot of interest.

There's quite a few "mainstream" jounros in the US now pushing this forward so I'm expecting a lot more to come out.

My money is on CIA psyop but it only takes 1 of the hundreds of stories to be true to change everything.

I joined the vaping club last month.

Still having the occasional cig but I've gone from 15-20g of tobacco a day to 50g a month. 

Its hard utilising the cannabis prescription I got myself last month without the tobacco.

No such thing as addiction, complete myth. How can people stop smoking if they are "addicted" and have no control over it?

It's like you have a spiritual side and a physical side to yourself. The spirit is weak for some time so you take on something like drink, or prescription meds then the physical side i.e. your body gets addicted to it. But if you're lucky your spiritual self starts to assert itself and overcomes your bodily cravings. It's like going on a type of diet but then staying on it. Best I can explain it. If you've never been addicted to something then well done.
