Now that Obama's pseudo-science leaders are out of office, we are seeing some truth being released. (Cut & Paste)
Here's CBS: www.cbsnews.com/news/teen-vaping-falls-reversing-e-cigarette-trend/

and WaPo: www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/06/15/teenagers-tobacco-use-hits-a-record-low-with-a-sharp-drop-in-e-cigarettes/?utm_term=.12c9c8d9a7ff

I still expect bad science to be hitting the media though. There is the Portland Oregon chemist who got an $11 million grant to burn e-liquid.

If the headline read, "teen smoking in the US declines 26% in one year" it would be front page news around the world. It would be a huge story and there would be a clamor to explain how this could happen. Instead the fake anti tobacco people are trying to minimize the importance of the finding.

If the headline was "teen skateboarding declines 26% in one year" people would say, that's kids, and they would be right. Well the same applies to vaping BECAUSE it's NOT as habit forming as smoking. Vaping lets kids satisfy their curiosity about clouds (not nicotine, not flavors) with far less chance of becoming life long users. The cloud toys are moving to the back of the closet along with kids' other toys.

My prediction is the next survey will show the decline in vaping levels off but the decline in smoking increases.

I saw the clip teen vaping falls.
Shows some younger folks sitting at counter in vape shop blowing huge clouds.
I have seen this at the casino as well more and more the younger crowd blowing these huge clouds.

As an older person and the ones i know 6 to 7 years back we took up vaping as a safer alternative to get away from smoking but nowadays the companies see the market for the younger crowd .
The tanks have gotten to be 2 and 3 coil setups the devices 2-4 battery with high wattage capacity.

Is it a fad i do not know but if the deem reg go into full effect (no one knows) it may have an effect on that particular way of vaping.
It will not effect my wife and i as we are stocked up for life in all aspects vaping as what they now call tottie puffers on simple clr coil heads and very low wattage.

Not knocking the folks that make clouds as we are all different but something eventually may change.
Hopefully the vaping folks are looking forward to what may happen to vaping as we now know it.

In my happy place
I like how they credit all of the programs without crediting e-cigs for the reduction in smoking rates.

If their programs were what caused the results would there not be a step change in the trend for the resulting drop from each of the programs? instead there is a flat line up till vaping came along. Humm
