If they're vaping 0mg liquids I suppose that's fine but if they're not I think that's pretty immature. That's my opinion, of course.

I'm not too sure why one would ever want to "Start Vaping" if they haven't a reason to start in the first place. I can see long term ex-smokers using this to diffuse a craving in a social setting (especially around friends that still smoke analogs).

I dont know, I look at it as the same way as people who hookah. Not every hookah user is a PAD smoker, or a cig smoker at all. When I use my hookah, it isn't for the nic fix it's for the flavor... the same as when I smoked cigs.

You are all defending someone who is attacking would be fellow vapers in the newcomer room. I don't care why they start. There is nothing wrong with nicotine or caffeine when used in moderation, as with drinking or any other adult activity. So the FDA should not even care about who "starts" ether, aside from age appropriation.

Your post is exactly why I picked up my first ecig about 5 days ago. I was so close to buying a pack of smokes and throwing my 2 year quit right down the drain. I think for me this will be a life long struggle and I have decided if vaping keeps me from going back to analogs I will do it for life.
Is caffeine a dependency producing drug?
"Dependence producing" and "addictive" are NOT the same thing. Being dependent on either caffeine or pure nicotine (absent the other substances in burned tobacco) is NOT the same as being addicted to narcotics or street drugs of the white powder variety. One may feel crummy if one doesn't get the morning coffee, but one does NOT go out and rob a convenience store or mug somebody to get money to buy it. One may feel crummy if one doesn't get that morning coffee or vape, but one does not suffer the EXTREME withdrawal symptoms of a habitual smoker going cold-turkey.
Is nicotine addictive?
If one has never smoked, nicotine is not addictive. So if you have some condition that would benefit from nicotine, go right ahead and use it, but use a very low level, because it really will give you an upset stomach if you're not accustomed to it. -- sharp stabby little pains, nausea, or even vomiting if you go really overboard, which is easy to do with vaping because it takes 5-15 minutes to be fully absorbed from vapor, as opposed to 5-15 SECONDS from smoke. If you try nicotine and feel dizzy or light-headed, LAY OFF IMMEDIATELY, or you'll be facedown in the toilet quite soon.
Is vaping bad for you?
Well... to be totally honest, we don't know exactly the long term effects of vaping. We do know, they are much less harmful than smoking. 95% to 99% less harmful, but even PG, VG and flavoring will have some effect. If you do try vaping, stick to 0mg nicotine. You aren't addicted to it now from cigarettes, no need to start using it.#N#Since it isn't addictive without the nicotine, if you want to try, you have that freedom to do so, and there will be lots of help here if you need it. (and you will)#N#So to start off.. NEVER CHEAP OUT ON YOUR BATTERIES! Use only high drain Sony, Samsung or LG. Samsung 25r is a decent battery to start with.#N#2nd start with a regulated PVD (personal vaping device *also called a mod*) Regulated is software controlled and is much more forgiving than a mechanical mod (basically, a flashlight with a heating coil instead of a bulb, but with a much more powerful battery) There are 2 types of mechanical mods. Hybrid and non-hybrid. The non-hybrid have a floating 510 positive pin so are much safer than the hybrid, where the positive pole of the tank sits directly on the battery. I will not use a hybrid.#N#However, start with a regulated mod. They are safer. Not 100% safe (rarely the chips fail), but that is why we say don't cheap out on the batteries.#N#Of course, the best advice is not to start vaping if you don't smoke. But should you choose to, do it safely. Ask questions in here before trying stuff as you learn. An example is I once saw someone say they wanted to use copper wire. This is a hard NO! Mainly, because the resistance of copper is far below a safe level, and 2ndly, heating copper creates copper oxides, which are not healthy. Just as an example mind you. (but don't try it.)#N#Basically, like everyone else, I recommend not starting vaping if you never smoked and aren't trying to quit. But if you do choose to start for your own reasons, we'll help you when you need it.
Can you vape if you have never smoked?
I think what everyone is giving is very good advice. If you have never smoked, please don't take up an alternative to smoking.#N#I can understand it seeming interesting, but it is only a safer way for people who have smoked to get their fix. Depending on which area of vaping interests you, you could still look into something to learn, that will be of a better benefit to vaping.#N#Say for instance, the way mods work interests you. You could learn about electronics and possibly get onto a course, and then depending how far you wanted to go either make electronic projects as a hobby, or even for work.#N#Just don't smoke or vape, please. If the flavours interest you, most are based on things that already exist. If you like the sound of apple pie, have an apple pie! .
