  • While education helped sure, the real killer was changing smoking from being cool to being a stigma and laws stopping smoking from most public places.

    Smoking was changed from being cool to being gross. It makes you smell, it makes kissing you gross, etc etc. Vapes seem to have taken away some of those issues that really pushed the social stigma.

    Add to it that nicotine free vapes exist and people use those, so it’s not the same singular target as tobacco. What you don’t want is something that can be easily debunked making it seem like it’s not that bad. (See the many stories of folks trying harder drugs because the DARE programs told them marijuana would be the same as LSD, only it’s not).
