And with normal usage, it&#8217;s no more harmful than the caffeine in a cup of coffee. The reason why smokers find it so hard to quit is because they also have a compulsive hand-to-mouth habit that in many cases will remain with them for the rest of their lives. The addiction is easy to beat. That hand-to-mouth habit isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Vaping is at least 95% safer than smoking combustible cigarettes. There has not been a single death correctly attributed to vaping commercially produced nicotine based e-liquids, in the 12+ years that vaping has existed. But traditional combustible cigarettes kills 480,000 Americans every year.<\/p>\n<p>Yet politicians are all working to ban vaping, while leaving the real killer available to keep doing its harm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am sick and tired of the media and various organizations with a less than honorable agenda lying to the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":151,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,188],"tags":[226,239,251],"class_list":["post-150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rants","category-vape","tag-nicotine","tag-smoking","tag-vape","has-thumbnail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scarytaskbar.com\/cranialsoup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scarytaskbar.com\/cranialsoup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scarytaskbar.com\/cranialsoup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scarytaskbar.com\/cranialsoup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scarytaskbar.com\/cranialsoup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/scarytaskbar.com\/cranialsoup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1461,"href":"https:\/\/scarytaskbar.com\/cranialsoup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150\/revisions\/1461"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scarytaskbar.com\/cranialsoup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scarytaskbar.com\/cranialsoup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scarytaskbar.com\/cranialsoup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scarytaskbar.com\/cranialsoup\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
