E-cigarettes could make nicotine addiction WORSE and 'vapers should get the same quitting help as smokers'
What? You mean the same crappy, ineffective medications that failed me twice? No thanks.

But first, let me check with @ucl.
You have so many fine people. Did you lose a bet to be saddled with Adam Winstock? 🤦‍♂️

(Back into it..) In the end, ironically, I had given up on giving up #smoking, but tried #vaping to lower my smoking costs.
Lower them? It ERADICATED them when I discovered I preferred #vaping.

"Adam Winstock, .., said people may not realise how much nicotine they are inhaling."
I know /exactly/ how much #nicotine I'm inhaling.
Exactly. Enough.
One of the many great things about #vaping is that you can take a puff or two then put the #vape down till you next want it!

It's called 'self-titration' and is a pretty basic concept to either implement OR understand. Ask a scientist to explain it to you.

"..people should focus on becoming totally free from the highly-addictive substance rather than switching to a 'substitute' form of smoking."
You misplaced the quote marks. It should be "..substitute form of 'smoking'."
Also..
Bite. Me.

"He also said quit smoking services should be extended to those who are struggling to quit #vaping."
Don't be a fucking moron. They've got more important things to do. Besides, it's easy to go down through levels of #nicotine in open-tank systems.

.. IF that's what the consumer WANTS to do. But why would they?
Sans tangible harm, the only reason to quit #vaping is to please peckerheads like you.
I'm fine with you being constantly angst ridden.
That's your problem, not mine.

BTW - brush up on the definition of 'addiction'.
Habituation sans harm is .. habituation, not addiction.

@ucl @threadreaderapp unroll, please..
