Interesting. Of course, the fact that these statistics say three quarters of vapers are dual users may serve as a justification for saying vaping does not make people quit smoking and most will resume smoking only. Which is also strange because if people don't get hooked on ecigs, then why should anybody worry about ecigs?
It's the same type of poll they use to sway voters choice of political 'flys'. So, accuracy is not critical.
Everyone I know at work who vapes is a dual user. They vape to get around the smoking ban on the property...
"Think of the children! Think of the children".... as they roll their eyes and throw up their arms in pseudo hysterics.
Except I haven't seen any kids take up vaping. Smoking is a right of passage which vaping is not. When they want to convince themselves they are adults, young people will smoke not vape. The demographics of that survey would be interesting.

Slowly but surely I've been seeing more and more public vapors. My little town in PA even has a vape shop!
Shouldn't that be "hiding behind trees"? You're mixing your metaphors Robert.
Where I come from very, very few people vape - at least that is my impression.
How long to you steep metaphors after you mix them?
The young I see starting out in vaping are all going after the clouds. At least the ones I see and hear about are.
Outside of the vape stores, in the wild I would guess about 1% of adults and maybe 10% of nicotine users vape.
I live in so cal,I shop in Palm Springs.
Vaping is huge here.
The sub ohm craze gained traction in California.
10% of all adults would mean I should see a vape every now and then, I fact it means 1 in 10 are vapers.
Even here I can't find 1 in 10 that even know what an e-cig actually is.

I don't see too many vapers around here, but there must be a lot, there are so many shops.
The other day, as we drove into the parking lot of a little strip mall, I was able to see some vaping from a distance... and I knew they were vapers, even though I wasn't close enough to see any hardware... because there was a woman a few shops up, smoking... I saw her little bit of smoke... then 3 shops down, I saw this MASSIVE cloud... I said to my husband, "there's some vaping going on down there." He asked me how I could tell... I said "just look at the difference in what they're exhaling, compared to that lady with the cigarette." He laughed his .... off. Andria
It's not surprising;
basically by this year, vape gear has reached the stage where most smokers actually have heard of them, and many have tried.
What the numbers tell me is that about 20 to 30% of smokers have converted to vape, and the other 80-70% have tried or are somewhere in between just trying it out and converting completely.
Vaping is pretty popular around here but I'm not sure one in ten adults vape. Maybe one in ten people that smoked in the past 2 years....
I lent out a setup of mine to a friend; when I see him and ask, he says he uses it at home;
I lent him an m16 sentinel with extra tube for a kick, with a 30mm magma, and 2 efest batts, and a charger, and a 50ml bottle of my semihomemade mix
Haven't reached the point of showing him to wrap a coil.
For him and many people, it's just so simple to light a cigarette compared to having to know so much stuff and get some many items to make vaping work.
Umm what reservations sell them for that cheap?!?!? In Arizona they sell them for $60+ a carton
I was using cigalikes on and off for 3 years while I still smoked. And still smoking a few cigs after I got an Evod. I know some folks quit immediately after they have their first vape, but a lot don't. It doesn't surprise me that a high % are doing both, especially if so many have started recently.
It must be a lot easier to get started lately. Up until earlier this year I didn't know of any vape shops. I learned later that there had been a few around town for a while but I didn't know about them. The only place I could even get cigalikes was a stall at the local mall, when that closed down I looked for them on the internet. Then someone told my wife about the Evod's which were being sold at a local head shop, so I took a trip down there and picked a couple up. Now there are so many vape shops that everyone must know where to find one.
Things have been changing quickly.
