I'm just hoping Gen Z realizes the potential harm and maybe leans towards options with lower nicotine levels.
Lower nicotine products are already on the market, but are rapidly giving way to higher nicotine products. This has less to do with the nicotine content and more to do with the actual ENDs themselves. Usually low nicotine vaping is with a box-mod, using free-base nicotine in the 3-24 mg/mL concentration burned at a high (though adjustable) wattage. This causes increased exposure to volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, eta. It's also associated with a pH that provides a pretty course hit. Higher nicotine products are generally nicotine salts in the 24-50 mg/mL range, but heated at a much lower wattage, producing roughly equivalent mean serum and urine cotinine (the primary metabolite of nicotine) levels in people who use low vs. high nicotine. The nicotine salts on lower wattage have less throat hit and are more likely to include menthol or some other kind of cooling agent, further smoothing out the hit. Nicotine exposure seems to be equivalent between the two product types, with low nicotine box mods being associated with more exposure to heavy metals and and high nicotine pods and disposables being associated with greater aerosol inhalation but less heavy metals.
Not sure, but I hope it gets rid of them. Gen Z sucks
I don't think nicotine addiction is a new phenomenon only found in Gen Z.
Every generations problems are the results of the generations before them. I wonder why some many people have raised their Gen Z children into nicotine addicted degenerates...
I wonder how many middle class white boomers this is going to trigger.
Not sure, but I hope it gets rid of them. Gen Z sucks
Agree. Gen Z is second worst, after the baby boomers. BB are the most entitled, selfish, casino-going, job outsourcing retards on the planet. We should cut off health care after the age of 75.

Wow, you proved your points with eloquent persuasion, having adduced numerous irrefutable examples. Oh, wait....

And I add that my Boomer neighbor doesn't need health care. He would be about 75 now, but he was killed in what was then South Vietnam at age 20 or 21. Please don't piss on his grave.

Nah. Boomers, millenials, gen z, gen x. There just aren’t enough Gen x to be annoying..
Vaping's definitely taken off as a trend, and there's no denying its appeal, especially among the younger crowd. Honestly, I get it. The convenience, the flavors, it's all pretty enticing. I'm just hoping Gen Z realizes the potential harm and maybe leans towards options with lower nicotine levels.
The convenience? How is vaping more convenient than not vaping? Not vaping literally doesn't require you to do anything.
, and I gotta say, it's a hot topic that's got everyone puffing up with opinions. Personally, I'm all about folks having the freedom to make their own choices, but when it comes to e-cigs, there's definitely a cloud of concern hanging over them. See, while some folks swear by them as a way to kick the smoking habit, others worry about the long-term effects on health. It's like walking a tightrope, trying to balance the potential benefits against the risks. And let's not forget about the whole debate on whether they actually help people quit smoking or just create a whole new addiction. I reckon it's important to have open discussions about this stuff, hear different perspectives, and weigh the pros and cons.
Low IQ - or danger addiction psychosis aka the Jungian phenotype of ectomorphic string bean who lives a chaotic and "dumb" life only out of fear of boredom, to seek to thrill, or psychosis.
basically, we should just laugh at people who do that kind of drug, even if they're a genius skinnyman or an F-boy ubermensch, because they're still falling prey to marketing and cookie-cutterdom.
it would take pure S-tier meta rizz to get away with vaping without looking like a goon. ISHYGDDT
I can encapsulate here - vaping is attractive for the same reason that grocery aisle grab-mes are enticing to babies. Are you a baby? You wantiwanti duh booberry candy? You wanna look badass, why not suck on baby candy that is definitively less badass than its precursor, tobacco? Lame. You want to be a baby who wants to pose as being more badass than you are? Keep it to satire, vapers.

Nicotine exposure seems to be equivalent between the two product types, with low nicotine box mods being associated with more exposure to heavy metals and, according to discussions often seen at Majestic Vapes, high nicotine pods and disposables being associated with greater aerosol inhalation but less heavy metals.
You make a good point that nicotine strength alone doesn’t explain the shift toward higher nicotine products. The device design and nicotine formulation really change how nicotine is delivered and experienced. Box mods using freebase nicotine operate at higher wattage, which can increase heat and exposure to certain compounds, while nicotine salt pods work at lower power and deliver nicotine more efficiently with a smoother throat hit. Even though the nicotine concentration is higher in salts, overall nicotine absorption can end up being similar. So the trend seems driven more by convenience, smoother inhalation, and device efficiency rather than simply higher nicotine content.
