Just look at the chart? It’s pretty obvious that smoking is consistently declining, while vaping started at a low point of smoking.

- iak8god 8y agoPretty much every year on that chart is a low point for cigarette smoking compared the years that preceded it. Note that 2015 is not when teens started vaping. It's when whoever collected this data started paying attention to vaping. I'd rather teenagers weren't using any tobacco products whatsoever, but I'm pretty sure inhaling vaporized ecig juice is much better for people's health than cigarette smoke.

- gomox 8y agoThat's a drastic oversimplification. Dosage amounts and patterns are wildly different. Ecig "juice" has many components that cigarettes don't.
