    “You’re on it all the time. With cigarettes, you might have said ‘I’ve only got five minutes, that’s not enough,’ and then you didn’t spark up after all. I don’t even have to go outside to vape,” Antonia says. When would she stop using e-cigarettes? “Right now, I feel like it’s doing me more good than harm. But if I got pregnant, I’d stop immediately.”

    I hope this person gets help

        As a first step, ban disposable vapes.

        There is literal tons of electronics and lithium batteries getting thrown in the trash because of that bullshit.

        Vapes smell, but not like smoke. Sometimes you can’t even tell when you go to someone’s room.

          You will still get residue on your walls over time. Doing it once won’t cause harm, but prolonged indoor use is just shitty for everyone.

          The smell is not the issue here, you still get second-hand smoke from nicotin into your lungs, even if it’s a smaller concentration.

          Edit: well, this is one topic that unexpectedly seems to be controversial lol, here you go, from WHO:

          There are many different types of e-cigarettes, which are the most common type of electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) and electronic non-nicotine delivery system (ENNDS). […]

          ENDS contain varying amounts of nicotine and harmful emissions.

          E-cigarette emissions typically contain nicotine and other toxic substances that are harmful to both users and non-users who are exposed to the aerosols second-hand. Some products claiming to be nicotine-free (ENNDS) have been found to contain nicotine.

          I’ve had it first and second-hand, it smells like a cheap candle.
