      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.

        How exactly is being a highly effective smoking cessation method a scam?

        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.

        Nicotine on its own is less physically addictive than caffeine

          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.
