(21,506 posts)They do contain nicotine but there are many other ingredients in cigarettes that also cause addiction along with horrible chemicals that cause cancer.
As a vaper I noticed the difference very quickly between the nicotine addiction and the cigarette addiction. With the Cigarettes if I ran out it became a panic situation fairly quickly. I would get irritable very quickly without the cigarettes, With the vaping I sometimes go hours without even thinking about it. Add to that the fact that i have reduced the nicotine over the last year from 24mg down to 6 and I am close to removing the nicotine completely. All with 0 discomfort or irritability.
Banning them is reactionary stupidity.
Do the science, test them, regulate them accordingly but outright banning is just plain dumb.
