Original Note:
The article fails to mention there isn't proof that vaping is a gateway to smoking. https://safernicotine.wiki/mediawiki/index.php/Myth:_Alternative_nicotine_products_are_a_gateway_to_smoking It also fails to point out that "addiction" usually involves harm and that "dependence" would be the more appropriate terminology. https://osf.io/rf74g More on addiction/dependence here: https://safernicotine.wiki/mediawiki/index.php/Nicotine_-_Addiction/Dependence#2024:_Chapter_26_Tobacco_smoking_addiction_and_nicotine_dependence
