Is caffeine addiction a serious public health crisis?

Nictoine on its own is no more harmful than caffeine.

Quitting caffeine is as easy as a few days, maybe a week of feeling like shit. Take an aspirin or two, and move on with your life.

Quitting nicotine is a fucking struggle.

It doesn't kill you, but it has negative impacts on your life, when you aren't using. Addicts become really shitty to be around, when they haven't had their hit for a few hours.

What exactly is the public benefit to getting children addicted to a substance that is incredibly difficult to kick?

Oh noes the horror!!! Major public health crisis! An invasion of grumpy assholes. Basically like half of America in the morning...

I'm also not forced to consume caffeine merely by standing next to you.

What is the actual quantity of nicotine in second hand vapor?

Most likely not very high.

Got any studies to back that up?

Seems to be high enough to feel the effect. Never experienced this by just standing next to someone sipping coffee.

Is this confirmed by any studies?

Quitting either can be easy as just not doing it one day, or a fucking struggle. It depends on the person and the use.

Personally I've had an easier time putting down the vape than the coffee cup.

I'd be concerned about high schoolers addicted to caffeine.
