Little known fact that a deadly strain of moths are becoming addicted to nicotine vapor.
The only known deterrent is moth balls.
Did you ever smell mothballs???

My car kills more bugs a year then i could begin to count and if karma rules the land i guess i will see a pot hole in my future if it were. But, i will just straddle the pot hole and keep on going. I am sure big tobacco has done far more harsh "research in there day". Or for that matter all the insecticide home depot and others roll out to there customer base each year. Guess its all how you see it relatively speaking. But, i am not here for politics i am just here to vape and hangout with all that welcome a new least on life, or so i see it.
So vape away
I find your post interesting since like most things in the world when you exhale smoke anything down wind does not want to be in the stream of smoke. But, carbon dioxide which come from you and the smoke is in fact one of the many things that attract them. Also, things like heat, otcnel (from your breathe) and water vapor, which comes from vaping as we all know is an attractant for them as well. As for repellant one of the most affected ways is the use of deet, which also works on most insects that bite.
Animals seem to vary in their reactions to smoke or whatever. I had a cat who loved pipe tobacco smoke. She'd flop on the scanner next to my computer and lift her head to suck in pipe smoke. She also enjoyed smoke rings. My favorites are what pipesters call "English" or "Oriental" blends. These smell and taste wonderful to the pipester but are, at best, tolerated by those around him or her.
She made it to age 21 and was perfectly healthy for all but the last couple of months. We didn't do a necropsy, so we don't know what killed her: it might have been congestive heart failure, but it could have been just about anything. She was quite old for a cat.
BTW, our vet says the idea that dogs and cats are dropping dead from lung cancer thanks to second-hand smoke is pure hooey. In the first place, primary lung cancers are quite rare in dogs and cats -- what vets see in pet lungs are usually metastases from cancers originating in other organs. Second, while various cancers as a cause of death does seem to be increasing for pets, this is due to two factors: 1) better diagnosis and 2) better vet care over the course of the pets' lives increasing life-span, so the immune system has longer to break down and give cancers a chance to take hold.
I'm not trying to ignite an argument about the dangers (or non-dangers) of second-hand smoke here. My point is that pets do have different reactions to smoke or vapor floating around in the air.
