    Addiction is not an emotion, addiction is a disorder.

        Thats great and all, but for the 12-14 year old who never smoked tobacco and only started vaping because of the color and flavour assortment, the fact that theese even exist in that category, clearly targeted at children, is a massive problem. If the vape companies really wanted to help adults quit, they would be selling like 2 tobacco-like flavors in unattractive packaging, then I think a lot less kids would vape. Imo (though no personal expirience) Adults wanting to quit don’t need the pink cookie dough cotton candy emoji-fied vape…

    And when you’re on the edge of addiction, you get “anxiety about whether I’m addicted” as a new unlockable!
