Vaping Addiction A Battle For All: Insights From UC San Diego
As an avid premium tobacco smoker, my kind tends to feud with the vaping crowd, mostly because of legislation being passed to limit the vaping industry and cigarette industry, which hurts the cigar world. I smoke cigars regularly, to say the least, and to curb that craving for lighting up in times when I simply don't have time to smoke a cigar, I have tried “cigar” vapes. They are nothing more than the same junk that's in other vapes but taste like you are licking an ashtray that a little vanilla extract spilled on. So, needless to say, I am not a fan. However, my fiancée is an avid vaper with no intent to cut down or stop in the future. She is pretty hooked on the nicotine dragon. I have had friends say, “Oh, I'm not addicted, I just do it when I'm out or just a little bit here and there.”
