Everyone I know who vapes nicotine is a junkie about it.

In fact, nicotine habits can be harder to kick than heroin. I know plenty of people who have tried to kick nicotine many times and cannot stay off of it.

Anyway, it's moot, because outright banning tobacco is insane.

It's the habit, not the high.

Kind of odd because the withdrawal is, physically, less taxing than caffeine (never mind opiates...), and yet the brain rewiring to chase the hit is somehow far more pernicious.
