I wonder if people are actually having their lives "ruined" by vaping. Maybe. What would be worse is if vaping wasn't available and they went from nothing to cigarettes. I guess you'd say those lives would be "devastated", or something?

Good thing we don't have to worry about it because it's a situation we have data on. You've created a hypothetical that is incorrect. Before vaping cigarette use from people who had never smoked before had plummeted to almost nothing. Meanwhile, 1 in 4 kids from 6-12 grade vapes.

This is still preferable to a situation where 1 in 10 smokes, since tobacco smoke contains various ”boosters” intended to increase the effects of nicotine, including addiction.

Vaping does not generate dangerous particles in the form of second hand smoke — on the contrary, second hand tobacco smoke is around 95% as dangerous as smoking yourself.
