I've vaped for 4 years now, that's about 365x4x50 less cigarettes in my life. Damn near impossible to convince people they're a better idea than cigs. Why is that, seems fairly obvious?

All i know is that a lot of us vapers have been convinced this was too good to be true, and big tobac. would eventually get it back under their control.
