I'd much rather people take up vaping than smoking.
It's not as healthy as not vaping, but it's 95% less harmful than smoking. Basically every study out of the US that shows that vaping is bad either had a methodology designed to create harmful products (like the formaldehyde and glycerol breakdown studies), or the news articles regarding the study grossly misrepresented the results (diacetyl/acetyl propionyl and heavy metal studies).
Also, since I know someone will say it, you can't directly compare nicotine content between vapes and cigarettes, or even between vapes because there's more than one form of nicotine.
If we allow alcohol to be legal, going after vapes is idiotic. The whole "think of the children" argument is bullshit. Kids will always do things they're not supposed to do. It's how many of us got started smoking in the first place.
