I agree that cold turkey is the way to go if you want to give up cigs entirely. I did that when pregnant with my first son. Did not start up again until my brother was dying of kidney cancer. I found smoking very soothing.

The point of vaping is that it is fun. It's an entirely new form of hedonism. Like smoking when you first started. There is an entire vaping subculture.

And vaping is not anywhere as dangerous as cigarettes. Public health officials calculate it's about 99% less dangerous, although that's just a guess.

Nicotine is not heroin. "Coffin nails" kill you with tar and carcinogins. Does nicotine, all by itself, cause cancer? I have been looking at this, and find no evidence that it does.

At any rate, is this a good place to consider investing? I would say no. Glycerin and nicotine are commodities, and the delivery systems almost that. I don't know much about the Chinese patent system but doubt that there is much ability to prevent knockoffs all over the world.
