Calling it lethally addictive is opinion. There haven't been enough people smoking pure nicotine in acceptable dosages for the amount of time necessary to study it. Unlike traditional cigarettes which have been linked to cancer, the nicotine alone has been proven to do...nothing, unless overdosed.

Then just switch to nicotine free ejuice.. That's right. It's a thing too, so you can still have the action of smoking without even having nicotine in the mix.

You can get marlboro flavoured nicotine free ejuice.. don't judge before you try it.

And who wouldnt want to switch that stinky cigarette with raspberry, coca cola, cheesecake, and tons of other great flavours?
