But if someone doesn't have plans to cease smoking should they continue to smoke cigarettes instead of switching to vaping?

My personal opinion is yes.

What mean to say is, if you are a purveyor of nicotine products in a professional manner, probably best to not recommend nicotine containing products outside the context of smoking cessation.

Though this line of inquiry rapid segues in to a philosophical debate.

Just curious.

But is this because you think vaping is more dangerous than smoking?

Or because you think enabling a harmful activity, even if it's a less harmful than the activity it's being substituted for makes you morally culpable? So providing methadone would be a moral wrong?
