Comment on EU countries to push for outdoor smoking and vaping bans

“Emerging product” pfff… Vaping has been around for 2 decades at this point. Plenty of time to show that it’s harmless and it’s being banned solely due to lobbying efforts from the pharma and tobacco industries.
I smoked for 25 years, vaped for 10 and I quit both eventually.
I couldn’t have stopped smoking without vaping. Vaping saved my life.
But it did that at a time when it wasn’t on any greedy company’s radar and it was still free-as-in-freedom (and, well, 10 to 100 times cheaper too). Now the opportunity I had 14 years ago is pretty much gone for really addicted smokers like I was looking for an effective cessation method.
Shame on you sonsabitches working to deny smokers access to the only really effective tool to make their lives better. I hope you feel some shame some day on your death bead…

I tried quitting for nearly a decade, vaping was literally the only thing that worked long-term. I was able to step down at my own pace and eventually stop.

I have quit twice and both times vaping was the only thing that worked. I’m back to smoking now but if life ever gets less stressful I’ll try again.
