  • Vaping is, on balance, dramatically better for you while still not being good, effectively harm reduction. The outrage was marketed as their marketing being towards young people. The marketing itself was aimed at a younger crowd, yes, but more 20somethings than teens.

    The real outrage was more about people adopting vaping instead of starting to smoke cigarettes, which was considered counter productive at a time when smoking rates were dropping dramatically.

    It remains to be seen if smoking’s stigma continues to cause rates fall or if the crusade against vaping as a less-harmful alternative backfires.
