Oh yeah, I work a couple doors down from a vape shop, and they stay fairly busy with customers of all ages. In addition to vaping myself, a couple of my friends and my roommate vape. I've had a great deal of trouble in getting away from smoking, and I've ultimately decided that (with several studies proving this) vaping is safer. So if I'm likely to be doing one or the other, I'll take the alternative that allows me to breathe better, tastes better, and doesn't make me or my clothes smell like an ashtray.

Hi, I'm new here, joined the herd right at the end of season four. I joined initially to weigh in on a topic, but I'm always up for meeting fellow bronies and talking about mlp and other things. Anyway, nice to meet everypony.

Nicotine prompts a release of dopamine in the brain, triggering the "reward center" it doesn't slow you down, it tricks your brain into happy feelings.

I vape, I also make my own liquid. I don't claim to know anything about the safety of vaping, but a lot of information I've read seems to indicate that it's considerably less harmful than smoking. A lot of the "dangers of vaping" articles seem to rely on sources that compare chemicals in cigarettes vs vapor, it's the smoke that contains all the toxins, not the cigarette. Another thing I've seen is relying on poor study practices, or (as was previously mentioned) poorly documented studies. Bottom line, for me, is that I feel a lot better since switching to vaping. I would not, however, recommend ANY non-smoker to vape. TL;DR Vaping seems to be safer, and if you don't smoke, don't vape.
