Would you stop vaping if...

[DadEh]

Uuuurrrgghhhh nope.
I have walked by that huddle of smokers outside their workplaces and I think 'God that was me and I was stinky'

Oh and did I mention annalogs don't taste anywhere as good. MMMMMmmmmmmMMMMMmmmmm

 

[WickedSick]

Probably , one day if..... who am I kidding . I don't think I will ever stop.

 

[Loofer]

Never go back to tobacco, even if they were free.

 

[batye]

No, not for now...

 

[RichardV]

Never ever again will I smoke. After 45 years of smoking I am now free at last, I have even gotten off of nicotine!
I still enjoy the hobby of vaping but I am no longer an addict.
I am eternally grateful for e-cigs, without them I never would have been able to quit smoking.

 

[Murrit]

I will never go back to smoking. I have not even had a craving since I started vaping.

 

[mojofilter]

Nothing could make me go back to smoking now. I only quit this past February 2nd after smoking for 42 years, but I'm off that garbage now and I'm staying off.

 

[Slots]

No, it's turned into to much of a fun hobby ..
Besides, I can breath again

 

[Evanagreer]

Nope. The price had nothing to do with my decision to switch to vaping. I feel healthier now and smell better.

 

[Joesnider13]

No, I enjoy vaping way more than I enjoyed smoking.

 

[nomore stinkies]

No, I can't stand the smell. But I am not quite ready to stop vaping anytime in the near future. It's frightening to think that the FDA just might win. Forty six years of smoking and it still scares me that I could fall off the wagon because I can't get my vape supplies.

The only real choke point the FDA has is nic because everything else we use in vaping has lots of other uses too. Right now you can get a liter of 100 mg nic base for about what a carton of smokes used to cost. A liter of that is enough to make several years worth of juice for most people. The FDA can do their worst and maybe keep most new people from switching to vaping, but they can't stop those of us who are already vaping from continuing to...

What was the choke point during the prohibition?

 

[Rossum]

What was the choke point during the prohibition?

Alcohol.

I'll note it was never illegal for an individual to possess or continue to consume alcohol he had acquired previously, but with alcohol a person had to be very well off to stock away enough to last a decade or more. With nic it's entirely feasible to stock away a lifetime supply of nic at today's very affordable prices. Of course it's possible that some juice will continue to be available legally, but in that case I see high taxes as virtually inevitable.

[...] Of course it's possible that some juice will continue to be available legally, but in that case I see high taxes as virtually inevitable.

But high taxes on nicotine that does not come as smoking products (e.g. overtaxing NRT) would show government's true colors, wouldn't it?

 

[Rossum]

Pricing on approved NRTs is already so high that applying additional taxes would probably ruin what little market BP has for them.

 

[RavenZ]

No vaping is diverse in flavors & "clouds" and I really LOVE not having the smokers cough

 

[Jorge22]

Nope. I'll never smoke again.

 

[AndriaD]

Not a chance. I finally got free of those things, no way I'd ever go back. I love saving money, but money is not the most important thing in the world -- a fact with which most corporate CEOs seem unaquainted.

I think many may go back to smoking if vaping became far more expensive than smoking...
