A single solution to all medical problems used to be called snake oil.
Now it's called antismoking. Target audience is the same.

"About 85 percent of COPD cases are related to smoking, although sometimes asthma progresses to COPD, he added. 'The majority of COPD can be prevented by not smoking.'"

Antis beat dead horses then deceive us into thinking abuses are still
taking place when they say, "Big Tobacco companies spend $ 8 billion a
year on advertising, promotions and sponsorships in America and
Europe." In reality, over 90% of that $8 billion goes to price
discounts ("promotions"), not advertising.

Once again, antis are lying.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Antis like it
that way. They are threatened by vaping as much as Big Tobacco is. If
tobacco went away, professional antis like Stanton Glantz would have
to get productive jobs. But they are not qualified to do anything
except lie about smoking. That's WHY antis are trying to kill vaping.
It threatens their livelihood.

The concern over vaping is that it might encourage tobacco use. Your experience is evidence it isn't a complete threat to tobacco.

In the worst case, tobacco use will stay the same. Vaping does not
attract non-smokers.

It will be when technical problems are solved. Legalization of
marijuana is likely to help. Engineering on marijuana vaporizers is
more advanced than on nicotine vaporizers.

Drat, outsmarted by a small analog molecule. Couldn't they at least
give us the dignity of a digital DNA codon?

"One study found that smokers with coronary artery disease had a significantly increased level of sympathetic nerve activity when compared to those without. This is in addition to increases in blood pressure, heart rate, and peripheral vascular resistance associated with nicotine, which may lead to recurrent angina attacks. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that the risk of CHD (Coronary heart disease), stroke, and PVD (Peripheral vascular disease) is reduced within 1-2 years of smoking cessation. In another study, it was found that, after one year, the prevalence of angina in smoking men under 60 after an initial attack was 40% less in those having quit smoking compared to those that continued. Studies have found that there are short-term and long-term benefits to smoking cessation."
