      yes it has, though not as big as some people make it out to.

        it has, because it’s illegal and puts people into contact with the legal market.

        When you actually look at it, alcohol or coffee (depending on your interpretation of drug) are far bigger gateway drugs, alongside tobacco/nicotine/vapes.

          I agree with everything you say. vapes (i dont like that name) were alot more controlled being sold only in ecigarette stores, and when they weren’t disposable or these small little devices, there was not many people who were “non-tobacco users” starting.

          Source: worked in the e-cigarette industry for a few years. Left when big tobacco came in.
