With all the education that's available, you'd think people would know better.

What gives?

Our culture says you can't be happy enough without messing with your brain. Joy through chemistry.

So fundamentally, there isn't any difference between drinking coffee in the morning, and vaping, or booze, or doing meth, just a matter of degree.

To be a good cult member, and to be happy, have to conform. Even see it on this site - people promoting alcohol and caffeine, to prove their un-mormon-ness, and boost their status on RFM.

So you have adults who use alcohol (toxic) and tobacco (toxic) and caffeine to get a buzz, telling youth that they shouldn't do vaping to get a buzz, and it is harmful.

It is my firm belief that vaping and smoking anything should be illegal. And BTW I am an old hippie and former smoker who lost his wife to lung cancer 2 years ago. Get your buzz another way if you must.

I know that the general consensus among health professionals is that vaping is safer than smoking. Not safe, but safer. But IMO not enough is known about it. People that are vaping are the guinea pigs in what is evidently a long-term "experiment."
