That is like saying if you quit smoking and wear a patch, you haven't quit smoking. Vaping is vapers, not smoke. It isn't much different than nicotine gum, patches or any other delivery of nicotine. Nicotine is not carcinogenic in itself. Many who vape start cutting the nicotine down and eventually don't use any nicotine in their juice but they still enjoy the vaping. So more power to them if they enjoy it. It's legal and they are adults. I happen to already be on so many drugs due to my health conditions that I certainly am not going to worry about nicotine. I didn't even worry about smoking other than it's expensive and going outside to smoke every so often when it feels like 40 below zero isn't so much fun. And saying we are drug addicts is quite offensive with its connotations. Not sure if you are just trying to be controversial or just don't like being nice but frankly it is very offensive to me and certainly doesn't give someone a good feeling about the community they have joined. Slightly less objectionable? I know my GP and neurologist would HIGHLY disagree with that statement.

BTW, drink coffee, tea or soda? Then you are a drug addict for the caffeine! We could play that game all day!
