The purpose of e-cigs is to get kids hooked on something that seems more "cute" and healthy, so they can graduate to real tobacco products when they grow up.

- pizza 4y agoWhy do you think this?
- otabdeveloper4 4y agoBecause that's what tobacco marketers say. And it is, indeed, working - this generation is the first one that smokes more than the previous one. (Though it's true that they vape instead of burning plant matter.) Whether they will graduate to "real" cigarettes we don't know yet, because this demographic is not 21 years old yet. But it's likely to be true, because "real" cigarettes purportedly are more potent.
- johnisgood 4y agoTo be honest, here somewhere in Europe the same laws apply to e-cigarettes as real cigarettes. You can only buy them at specific places if you are over 18.
- otabdeveloper4 4y agoSame here, but that doesn't stop schoolkids from vaping in large quantities.
