Guess the "helps quit cigarettes" marketing has worked because a lot of people seem to think vapes aren't like smoking, don't have nicotine, etc, even though they're basically the same

A person who quit smoking by vaping here, among many friends who quit the same way. I get that you shouldn't vap in a restaurant or on the trolley, but it's night and day for the ill effects of smoking indoors.

I agree you shouldn't vape on the trolley, but it is an effective way of quitting smoking, and it's not remotely the same.

My friend's Toyota has a similar but different residue of tar-like residue all on his interior windows. That shit still lingers like cigarettes, just like... Less?

yeah exactly, it's less nicotine/crap per puff compared to a cig but it's still there. After like a decade of smoking bans "don't worry it's only second hand smoke from like 1/4 a cig" is not very appealing

Yea that's the nicotine. Vaping takes a LOT longer to build up than smoking does in my experience.

Also it can mostly be solved by cracking a window.
