I dont get it. Big tobacco owns the vaping industry. So why would they sponsor an article that makes availability seem bad?

Also, smoking had been on the down trend among newer generations? So vaping is a potentially good hook to lead to cigarettes among newer generations. Will be an interesting study on the impact of newer generations as opposed to the older ones who are using it as quitting aids.

This is absurd. Nobody is starting with vaping and then progressing on to cigarettes. Cigarettes taste like shit and they make you stink. This is coming from someone who kicked a decade+ cigarette addiction with vaping.

I grew up with people who didn't smoke, but later picked up the habit after vaping. So it's why I was wondering about studies over anecdotal evidence whether it be yours or mine.

I don't care what people choose to do with their bodies. More curiosity over in market shifts and what type of new consumers are emerging.
