Huh? They're not banning tobacco, they're banning e-cigarettes, specifically because there is a ton of evidence that youth get addicted to nicotine via e-cigs.

If you want to smoke tobacco, go ahead, you're still free to do so. No need to hyperventilate.
If you want to quit smoking tobacco, don't use e-cigs. Start using products like nicotine lozenges, gums, patches, etc in addition to therapy or other medical interventions. These nicotine delivery mechanism have not been shown to get youth addicted to nicotine.
- EpicEng 7y ago>Start using products like nicotine lozenges, gums, patches All options with abysmal success rates. It's so easy for people with enough knowledge to be dangerous and no skin in the game to support nonsense like this.

Got it. > Start using products like nicotine lozenges, gums, patches, etc Last I checked these were half as effective as e-cigarettes for quitting.
