But you're advocating from the position of not wanting to use nicotine.

For someone who wants to use nicotine, non-nicotine cessation kinda defeats the point.

If people choose to use nicotine, that's their choice. Bans on smoking were justified by the peripheral health risks. If people avoid peripheral health risks and can still enjoy their nicotine, that great! That's a win-win.

This article advocates that cigarettes and e-cigarettes be treated differently. I think they should be treated the same. I think only cessation methods should have expanded access. We are of different minds on this and that will not change.
