So they don’t appeal to me, but they might to people where the stuff is regulated And they slip through. I don’t know if this includes Australia or not. Just saw an article on such in scientific American. Vape Additives that Mimic Nicotine Are Potent—and Largely Unregulated “possible risk” usually means “we don’t know if there is a risk or not. Especially if we avoid looking”. Doesn't mean there aren’t of course. Designer drugs have a rep for weird and sometimes dangerous side-effects.

    I can see unscrupulous people manufacturing analogues for $$$. I can see people using them, dying or getting sick. Huge upgrade in the ammunition of the anti vape lobby. Probably the final nail in the coffin. Just my opinion.

    It's already a concern. Many articles out there. High Variability in Nicotine Analogue Contents, Misleading Labelling, and Artificial Sweetener in New E-Cigarette Products Marketed as “FDA-Exempt”
    This may be someone reacting to that article
