I'll always be thankful that vaping got me off tobacco, and eventually nicotine too. But there's an abyssal gulf between the self assembled, diy vape and self mixed liquid that vaping started at, and the white ox grade addiction pods that vaping has become.

There's absolutely no reason to have the default strength be 50mg/mL, unless optimising for addiction without quite hitting a poisonous dose.

Just admit, like all people who smoke cigarettes do, that it’s bad for you and that you’ll continue doing it.

I don't know why people can't just do this. I drink

sometimes like a fish

and I know it's not good for me and likely will take years off of my life. But I like it. So oh fucking well.

Had a diet soda after work yesterday. Just sat down right now after getting home from work and am craving one intensely.

There is no way something so yummy and habit forming is consequence-free.

Just admit, like all people who smoke cigarettes do, that it’s bad for you

I still know people who insist smoking isn't bad for you. Typically with some kind of "Actually, oranges and swimming pools kill more people than cigarettes do, so it's no big deal" rejoinder. It's genuinely maddening.
