That's not true, from my personal experience cigarettes are MUCH more powerful.
Also I don't understand why everyone so obsessed about nicotine as a main active agent. It looks relatively harmless when comparing with smoke, carbon monoxide, tar in cigarettes and strange substances in e-cigarette vapor (not including nicotine).
- lemoncucumber 8y agoIsn't it the addictive part? It would be a lot easier to avoid all the other harmful stuff in the vapor if it wasn't addictive.
- sigsergv 8y agoSocial aspect of smoking could be additctive a lot. Many vaping liquids don't contain nicotine.
- hn-reporter1911 8y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known. Cigarettes may indeed be more powerful, but people are obsessed with nicotine because it’s addictive qualities are so well known.
- sigsergv 8y agoDependence on nicotine is mostly psychological/social. Nicotine patches could prevent physical one but people still need to perform smoking “ritual” again and again. What I want to say: we should not fight nicotine, we should fight smoking/vaping.
- sigsergv 8y agoAnd also I know a lot of people who vape nicotine-free dirt and we don't know what exactly those liquids contain.
