hmmm very low nicotine cigarettes,   i only skimmed the article,   first thoughts are    if that happens,  wont smokers feel the need to smoke even more cigarettes


hmmm  maybe thats the idea,   sell more of them,    harm reduction aint gonna happen but increase  with doubling the chemical intake.


Thats my thoughts,  but i'm ditzy today with a hangover a bit.

I think it is there intent to push the remaining smokers into vaping. A less satisfying smoke would push many to alternatives.

ha ha  didnt think of it that way,  my head is shot today.

Unless you make your own juice, higher nic juices are hard to get, it's all high vg, 3 to 6 nic these days!??  Have to add nic shots! 

Caz, you need a bloody marry!

I got a link to this in my email. It's from the Washington Post.

 I like this one in the comments.
“Instead of making ciggs safer by removing additives they take out the one ingredient proven time and time again to cause no harm? Oh well.. “

I've been off of nicotine for about 1 and 1/2 years now and it was my experience that once vaping had gotten me off of the 4 to 7 thousand additives (depending on brand and manufacturer) the nicotine was rather easy to give up. The additives speed up absorption into the bloodstream, enhance the "kick" and otherwise make nicotine more addictive. Without them nicotine was about as addictive as caffeine. No joke!
