1. Nicotine is the most rapidly dependence producing drug out there

Yes, those things were marketed to kids. I'm not as totally bent out of shape over this as I was about Joe Camel. Most likely vaping is not nearly as damaging to the lungs as tobacco is. It is as damaging to the cardiovascular system. It is hell to detox.

I don't mind that this drug is sold or even advertised. I just wish advertisers would be compelled to feature people over 50 in their commercials.

Remove the "young, rebellious, cool" images and replace them with people their parents' age, teenage nicotine abuse would drop like a rock. Oh, they'd still start up in the military and frats, but at least they wouldn't be starting at 14.
