The cancer they cause is brutal. If you want to make a habit of nicotine, stick to vapes.
yeah but vapes aren't necessarily any better for you are they?
As far as I know, it is somewhere between improbable to impossible that nicotine vapes are as bad as tobacco. In other words: it is very likely that vapes are better than smoking.
The public health campaign is primarily focused on stopping people below age 25 from getting the habit of any type of nicotine. So the decision has been made (in the US and those whole follow their lead) that riding on the back of prior work done by equivocating between the 2 is a good idea.
As of yet I have managed to not form a habit and its been a few years
What about nicotine patches?
You don’t really inhale cigar smoke. You breath it into your mouth, but not your lungs.
Thats why you get cancer in your mouth.
