Who cares? Does anyone even watch it on an actual Roku? I know I don't.

(The 'who cares' is about the content, not this post)

Burnt cigarettes have over 9000 different chemicals, several of which are addictive MAOI antidepressants. It's not the nicotine hooking people to the level we see in smokers, it's that, they're having legitimate withdrawal symptoms from a legitimate drug dependency. Nicotine itself at the levels anyone takes it in is maybe a little more addictive than caffeine.

Ecigs, at minimum, have propylene glycol (GRAS) and nicotine which isn't necessarily from tobacco, and even the nicotine is optional. Many have a couple other ingredients like vegetable glycerine (makes "smoke" clouds puffier) and flavorings, but even loaded up it doesn't compare to the count in the first paragraph. Ecigs also don't burn anything unless you're doing it very wrong.

Also since I'm on the soap box anyway, when you hear fear stories about "vaping" they're usually lumping in thc/marijuana which is effectively different even though it doesn't need to be. Because it's regulated if not illegal you'll chance getting things like adulterated cartridges with oils in them, if you breathe in oil particles you're getting pneumonia. So when you're reading or hearing about some scary story it's probably that and the one "reporting" is too lazy or too ignorant to make the distinctions they should.

He gets a lot of crap like he's dumb but he's actually a pretty smart guy.
