I like to smoke cigars in the summer when I'm having a couple of drinks. While I rarely smoke I just ordered my first kit with 0 nic - don't see a problem with it.
Do you think it's okay for non-smokers to start vaping?

Fine by me, especially if they are using 0 nic. I'm sure there are many people out there who are interested in the fixation of smoking, but aren't interested in smelly clothes and negative health.
Over 18, it's simply none of my business.
Under 18 and my spawn (of which I have none), There Will Be Consequences. Somebody else's spawn, none of my business.
Really, that pretty much explains my reaction to actions that don't impact my life.

Everybody is a non-smoker before they become a smoker.
I know people who would not be considered smokers but who smoke on occassion, and probably would smoke more often if it were not so expensive and unhealthy.

This raises an interesting question: in and of itself, how addictive is nicotine? One of my friends quit smoking about a year back, vut he takes the occasional puff from my mod. He likes the slight nicotine bump, but he doesn't feel any craving after it wears off.
It makes me wonder if it's not so much the nicotine as it is the eleventy billion other things that are in tobacco.
I've read some of the studies (probably not all) and I honestly think it's both. Nicotine is addictive. Nicotine mixed with the other things in tobacco plus the corporate additives is uber addictive. Different people's bodies react differently to addictive substances. Some people can be social cigarette smokers without ever developing an addiction, others smoke 2 PAD and struggle for years to quit. Individual choice, but not knowing how your individual brain and body is going to respond no, I wouldn't advise someone who doesn't use nicotine to get juice with nic. That's just me tho.
I think it's a great! I see it as culture understanding how harmless vaping really is, especially with 0 nicotine juice.
I'm fine with non-smokers vaping... Please encourage them to join CASAA and help keep this choice available to all... especially us former smokers.
I agree with zahoo. If ppl choose to vape recreationally or because they think it's hip, encourage them to join CASAA.
I personally don't know why someone would get into vaping unless it is for smoking cessation. But to each there own.

I cant see a problem, we were all non smokers before we decided to start smoking. So why shouldn't a non smoker decide that they want to start vaping. It has to be better than deciding you going to start smoking.
Hijack has a good point too. If ppl who were considering smoking opt to vape instead that's great. But it will add additional scrutiny by the FDA and states figuring out how to tax them.

Absolutely! Can't understand how anyone would start smoking today with everything we know about it and all the restrictions on where one can smoke. Smokers today are practically social pariahs. That doesn't mean I have an issue with smokers or get all up in their business.
If you think it will lead to you picking up the nicotine habit i would say it certainly wouldn't be my choice but i'm not you so choose wisely . Imo if your nicotine free i would say stay that way there's plenty of other things to try out and get involved in.
I wish i was in your shoes but vaping is a big plus for people struggling with regular cigs and is far better, again imo of course . Even if you started with zero nic what the heck for , just sounds like a dumb idea to me.

The only reason this is even a question is because of the stigma that's been attached to a "smoke like" substance coming out of somebody's mouth in the past 50 years. I think it's ok for a person to do whatever they want with their own body.
Thanks for all the imput, I'm going out today after to get my sister something zero nic and fruity. What are the best mods for beginners?
I wish vaping would have been around when I started smoking. I would personally stick to 0 mg nic.
As long as your sister's of age it's her choice. I mean just think of how you feel at the idea of FDA trying to tell YOU what to do? Sharing DNA doesn't maker her any less human! As a matter of fact if she really likes it she's going to do it anyways and resent you as well as think you are a hypocrite if you give her grief about it, most likely and IMHO.
Nicotine really isn't the "devil" it's been made out to be. It's great that so many vaper's and ex smoker's come out of Big Tobacco and Big Pharma's grips but sad to see how many in the community are still disillusioned by the myths, propaganda and lies!
I think it's ironic how many parents will give their children prescribed "speed" and shake their heads at us "despicable vapers" whom they worry are trying to entice and corrupt their youth, ha! I'd rather my kids pick up vaping on the sly then give them 90% of the prescribed medicines out there.
I could say more but I don't want to run too far off track and I'm saving it for a blog. I will say this though. I do have 3 nephews and 1 niece all in the same family who take ADHD medicine, which I don't agree with mind you. However there being on it has taught me a lot. During the summer or extended breaks from school they are taken off it. While it takes them a good day or two to adjust, (they don't seem particularly miserable during either), I don't see any substantial negative consequences of them coming off of it and I've talked to the older ones extensively and if it was up to them they wouldn't take their meds.
Now take nicotine, I have a similar experience with it after my initial detox from smoking 2 packs of smokes a day, although without vaping the detox was prolonged and difficult. With vaping MUCH easier especially after the initial week. Now as a vaper only for months if I don't vape it's not crucial at ALL, unlike not being able to smoke for prolonged periods of time. This has opened my eyes along with plenty of research stating that nicotine is NOT the addictive drug it's been made out to be, on par with something that's portrayed as being injected into someone's arm! Remember the old 1950's movies about illicit substances, ("something fish swim and live in" madness!) LOL some of you will get it!

I started with the standard evod, then went to a vision spinner with an aerotank, dual coil. Then to a vamo v2 with a kayfun. Michael Reno. Hope that helps

I will try as best I can to help and encourage smokers to try using vaping as a tool to get off cigs. Non-smokers I will try to discourage from vaping. Vaping is as I see it is a risk reduction tool. When applied to a Non-smoker it becomes a Risk they do not need to add.
All that said, I encouraged my wife, a non-smoker, to try vaping due to my having read a story on the net about PG effects on asthma symptoms. She was having a very bad asthma day and her meds were not providing relief. I had her take a few puffs of my ecig and relief was almost instant. She now vapes a few puffs during a normal day.
So, yes I have encouraged one non-smoker to try vaping, but for cause.
