the only way you could think that vaping doesn't stink is if your sense of smell has been previously eradicated by actual smoking

sweet flavours do stench yeah. menthol is nearly odourless as vapour

mate i work directly in the smoking cessation field and believe me nicotine addiction is a mother fucker for absolute sure. even with the best drugs and support and incentives it's still small percentages that end up smoke free

here in nz someone can walk in off the street and get two months of nicotine patches and gum/lozenges for $10. we give smoking mother money vouchers for quitting. varenicline course is about $600 but we fund it and charge the patient $10. despite all of this, people continue to smoke. never judge a smoker for it quitting cos everyone is different. even if someone goes from 20/day to 15/day that's a big improvement. i wish i could also sell vape stuff to help people too

that yes, they don't help smokers quit though, which is what's discussed. extra taxation on tobacco products seems to go quite a longer way in that regard

nicotine is fairly safe, it's just very physically dependence forming

Dixie Cretin Seaman posted:

there is also definitely a factor where compared to say heroin, there is significantly less stigma and ease of buying and smoking doesn't really destroy lives and families. smokers would never go to the lengths opioid addicted people go to get their drugs

increases in cigarette prices manage to make some people quit, but it's also argued it hits low socio economic communities harder because of course poor people smoke more and see the doctor less and quit less and now have to spend more of their meagre income on smokes

all we can do is continue to push cessation and continue to lower the barrier of entry to cessation products and drugs and services

i'd hate to see it made illegal tho

it's not like the withdrawal is unbearable or something. people just really like smoking.

yep addiction is hard. governing our desires is a lot harder than dealing with withdrawal symptoms or tapering or whatever.

smoking is a hard addiction to tackle specifically because it is so easy to quit (or start again)

i don't know how widespread it is (meaning eu-level), but at least in finland the brands and prices of tobacco are no longer visible anywhere. you need to know what you're buying and ask the cashier for it. also there are no smoking rooms, you can't smoke in bars, you have to go outside to smoke in the rain/snow.

so we can definitely make the barrier of entry higher too. and hey, it's working. teenagers and young adults are smoking way less than older generations were at their age.

european statistics tend to fudge a bit by using "daily" smokers instead of smokers overall

if finland were a u.s. state it would probably rank around kentucky and w. virgina for tobacco use
