When the "Truth" lies - a lot of youth think they aren’t vaping nicotine, but is that true?

Now since they have the survey results stating that 60% of teens are vaping "just flavoring" and 20% "don't know" if they were vaping nicotine the "truth" initiative is claiming that those 60% of teens who said they don't vape nicotine are just too stupid to understand what they are vaping.

The proof the "truth" has:


"99% of e-cigarettes sold in U.S. convenience stores, supermarkets and similar outlets in 2015 contained nicotine"


Well no fucking kidding but that has nothing to do with the strength of ELIQUID teens are using because none of these places even sell eliquid.

The 60% of teens who don't use nic are using mods rdas and tanks that you need to put eliquid in.

The reason 20% of teens "don't know" is because they were experimenting by taking a puff off of a friends device and 19.2% of the 20% who are using nic are practicing tobacco harm reduction like the rest of us.

Even leftover 0.8% who never smoked and are now using nicotine have also saved their lives.

Because If vaping didn't exist ALL of the teens listed above would be smokers of REAL CIGARETTES - 5150

When you see a statistic/claim that says "99%" or "99.9%", you know no research was ever done because there are too many claims and stats out there these days that claim "99%". How could that be just mere coincidence?

It's like a label for a household cleaner that says "Kills 99.9% of germs"....like as if they actually got ever germ, put them all in a petri dish, poured the cleaner on it and found that 99.9% of them were killed off LOL. I'll bet.

That said, to call them or insinuate they are stupid shows the lack of intelligence or the agenda of the reporters. Teens lie when they are approached about things they do that they are prohibited from doing or will even play stupid. Adults do it, too. They don't want to self-incriminate.

Bottom line: It's all bullshit everywhere you turn.

Sounds like convenience stores are selling ecigs to minors. Someone should probably do something about that. Maybe pass a law? Oh, wait...

The only problem here is that if they don't find a new thing to demonize (nicotine) and fast, their reason to exist will be gone.

Can't have that. They might have to get real jobs.
