Let's re-run you previous post, and see what you *actually* wrote, shall we?
"Cmon now. If you
vape nicotine EVERY DAY you're a nicotine addict. Most addicts in the world are in denial.
And the whole ''HOBBY BULL....'' makes me laugh. So loud btw!
vaping is a necessity for most.
I think vaping is more addicting then cigarettes,
Once you start vaping, you want to buy more and more vape products. to the point where the addiction makes you spend more money then you did when you smoked cigarettes, You start saying stuff like you say, and start denying that its bad for you. Vaping isn't good for you either. Its just better then tobacco. I would not want my child to vape or smoke. period! If your a caring parent. We know this forrum is FULL of people stuck in Vape denial. blah blah blah vaping is not bad for you bull..... If your e juice contains nicotine its going to effect your body Stimulants are not good for you over time."
Get this straight for once: if SOME people are spending MORE on vaping gear than they used to spend on vaping, that is THEIR "problem", and more than that, it is a "problem"
completely un-related with vaping by itself!
Vaping is not an expensive "addiction", (*) (your way of putting things, not mine), and vapers are not poor hooked "addicts" who need to spend more on vaping than they used to spend on cigarettes, just to keep away from cigarettes.
People who do that, they do it because they started collecting stuff they *like*, not stuff they actually *need*. And therefore, it is a *choice*.
I had once a jealous smoker telling me, about my setup "That's a rich man's 'tobacco' " (As if I was showing off my new Ferrari). We was telling that to me in a envious way, like saying "we poor people *must* use cigarettes".
My response? "Not really. Sure, I've spared some money already, but not enough to make me rich!!"
Moments later, his jaw dropped when I told him about my vaping expenses in the last year. And I made it clear for him that if he could afford the excise taxes on smoking, then he could also afford vaping expenses - three or four times fold.
(*) I guess your definition of "addiction" is very generalist. What about people who use non-nicotine liquids, and ALSO spend some money on devides they like? All there's left is the old behavioral side, the "hand-to-mouth", so difficult for smokers to quit. That would make them just as "addicted" as someone who cannot let go of his new iPhone.
