20. Not vaping or smoking cigarettes at all should be the goal

Thu Feb 22, 2018, 08:31 PM

Instead, they market vaping as a safe choice and sell flavored oils to get the kids hooked even though they produce toxic vapor. You want to vape, that's fine, but stop making it only about what's in cigarettes while you ignore the health risks posed by vaping. I personally wouldn't want to be sucking in lead or other heavy metals every time I sucked on one of these.
