My guess is that the bans on e-cigarettes are due to their effectiveness in helping smokers quit, combined with their tax-free status. The governments of the world pull in billions on tobacco tax revenues.
- moens 13y agoYeah, I have two friends who were both long term cigarette smokers quit after using e-cigs for a short period of time. My understanding is that without the free-based nicotine in most (all?) commercial tobaccos, the addictive nature of smoking is significantly reduced. Interestingly, one of those friends is now able to smoke socially at will. Flipped some addiction trigger or something. I would love to see a study on this.
- dhughes 13y agoI've heard people say the opposite i.e. that e-cigarettes make it too easy for people to take up smoking especially the flavoured tobacco which was also banned here. Although such speculation is just paranoid ranting without proof.
