Quite apart from the obvious dangers of walking around with your head in the clouds, is vaping better than fags? In the longterm, definitely not.  But in the shorterm, vapers would argue that it's helped them quit the pernicious weed.  But they'll still be arguing anyway because they're still in the throes of addiction - only to the vape and not the fags?!  It's a bit like quitting fags and putting on 5 stone because eating cake replaced smoking. So how do you recover from addiction?
