Vaping may be a good alternative for a smoker. Some people find them a useful aid in quitting as it’s easier to slowly reduce nicotine content.
It’s is not contradictory to say vapes are bad. They can be better than cigarettes, but this doesn’t make them good.
Vapes are highly palatable. This reduces a barrier to developing a nicotine addiction. So there genuine concern when it comes to young people developing nicotine addictions.
However, the motivation for this ban is due to the waste produced by disposable vapes. The early vapes were reusable so this wasn’t an issue. These disposable vapes are responsible for alot of lithium batteries being irresponsibility disposed in the streets.
Nicotine on it’s own isn’t particularly addictive. It only becomes highly addictive when combined with the MAO inhibitors found in tobacco, primarily harman and norharman.
Don’t know how many times this keeps having to be said but nicotine is not the part of smoking that is addictive, it’s the habit. Nicotine is as addictive as caffeine.
The habit of biting my nails is why I haven’t been able to stop for nearly 30 years, nothing else.
It’s why pipe and cigar smokers don’t chain smoke… because nicotine isn’t there to hold them to it.
I agree, ban single use vapes, but acting like kids get addicted to vaping because of nicotine is bullshit. They do it because they think it’s cool, just like they did for cigarettes.

I’m intrigued, got any sources for this claim?
