I got addicted to cigarettes at 16 when the age to legally buy tobacco was 18. It’s laughably easy to play “hey mister” until someone agrees.
Substances being illegal have rarely been a barrier to people doing it. In fact, the illegality makes kids more likely to try it, and more likely to be exposed to other harmful substances.
Marijuana isn’t a gateway drug because it gets you high. It’s a gateway drug because you have to buy it from a criminal who will offer you other drugs.
Heck yeah, that’s even better then. Such a pointless drug. Helps with anxiety caused by nicotine withdrawal, which is a scam if you ask me. We don’t slap a warning label on scams like pyramid schemes and such, we just outlaw them.

Vaping doesn’t help with nicotine withdrawal because the vast majority on the market contain nicotine, although before governments went after open systems people used to step down their nicotine strength to quit vaping.
The reason it’s so successful is because it still fills the actual habit of smoking, which is the most addictive part.

I was talking about nicotine in general. I thought this was a ban solely on cigarettes (since it’s easier to implement and control). I’m truly happy that they went with this. History will thank UK for making this step, encouraging others and I can bet my entire bank account on this.

Would you do it if you had to rely on someone else until you die? What happens when you’re 50? You ask your 55 year old buddy to buy it for you?
Vapes are part of this ban
