Is it better to vape low nic and nasty vapes to regulate off smoking?

Called up my local vape shops. Both had no flavored e-juice. So, my opinions are tobacco or menthol.

Everybody is different. I knew a guy who stopped smoking with nasty cigars.

Which ever works best.

I figure menthol flavor will soon hit the government chop block too so that will only leave tobacco. Which is still a flavor it's all so ridiculous

The problem is three things. The vaping experience is different for everybody. A company like JUUL made 50mg and flavored pods their prime selling point. And the Government and Big Tobacco want a cut of the money after millions of people switched from smoking to vaping.

Well yeah. The government taxed the heck out of tobacco because nobody was going to defend an industry that hid the fact that it knew it was killing its customers... for years. They promised the proceeds of such taxes to benefit the "healthcare" industry. That money went into the pockets of well-connected "healthcare" businesses and their government contracts for this-and-that. The "thank yous" came with hefty campaign contributions and donations to the "foundations" of their political patrons, and their families, no doubt.

When people wised up and that tax stream started to dry up, well... we can't have that, can we? Less smokes means less cancer which means less focus on that particular industry: Not Big Tobacco, but Big Healthcare, and Big Government.

It's always like this. This is what happens when people allow power to replace competency in government.

Look around. The citizenry has been trained to jump on whatever bandwagon the leaders and their media organs have dictated is "good"... This is not specific to any particular ideology. Most people are on one bandwagon or another.

That which is dictated as being "bad", even simply having no opinion, or wanting to be left alone, well, no doubt, the people who support such behaviors are unsavory at best, the objects of scorn and marginalization. <--- We are here.

The narrative falters? Nothing that a few 24 hour news cycles and well-placed social media posts can't revive.

Worst case? Who knows? As far as I'm concerned, I'm not even sure what particular group they'll hang me with. There's so much wrong-think in my skull. They'll not have a hard time finding something.
