Yeah Nicotine is also very bad for your mental health long term. You become so hooked on it that you literally can not be happy without it.

It's such a pacifier. And with vaping, you can get a little hit almost no matter where you are - don't even need to step out for a break

It actually makes a lot of sense from a business. The vaping companies want you to live a long life hopelessly addicted.

Totally. It's no wonder tobacco companies are deeply invested in smoking cessation and alternatives (or so I've heard - don't ask me for a source).
