They NEVER bother to ask the teens if they were using nicotine or not and we already know by the recent youth survey that 2/3 of teens DO NOT use nicotine.
You know how fucking wonderful it would have been if they had nicotine free cigarettes when I was 15?
The rest of the story: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-07/uosc-tvc070516.php
"The USC study found that the number of 12th-graders in Southern California who had smoked in the past 30 days dropped from 19 percent in 1995 to about 9 percent in 2004 and then leveled off, with the rate of smoking just under 8 percent in 2014.
But when cigarettes and e-cigarettes were combined, some 14 percent of high school seniors in 2014 said they had smoked or vaped in the last 30 days."
This means that 6% of teens who may have started off as smokers DIDN'T because of vaping.
It would also be very interesting to know how many out of those 6% DO NOT use nicotine, only took one or two puffs, or are vaping "something else" (It's Cali for Christ Sakes you don't think kids are smoking other shit?)
None of those questions will ever be answered because:
"The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute and the Food and Drug Administration Center for Tobacco Products (P50CA180905)."
