From what I’ve read, there are 2 chemical-kinds of nicotene, 1 of which is called “freebase” nicotene, which hits quicker, & therefore is more addictive.
Yes, cigarette-tobacco has been bred ( if not engineered ) to increase the freebase nicotene ( can’t remember which company it was that got caught on that, their actions demonstrating that it’s a drug they were optimizing-for ),
& vape-companies intentionally engineer their products to be as addictive as they can be.
Children don’t have fully-myelated-brains ( until about 21, which is why outlawing drinking until 21 so drastically reduces slaughter of lives on the roads ), & holding that they just have to “be more adult” when their brains literally can’t be, is either denial or machiavellianism ( depends on the person’s motivation ), AND victim-blaming, in my view.
What Mexico’s doing, effectively, is GIVING a chunk of their economy to the drug-cartels.
Which is idiocy.
Decriminalize everything, tax it to death, do whatever, but we need to be gutting, not increasing, organized-crime’s economy.
Nicotene kills the nervous-system of the gut, & it’s likely doing the same kind of damage to the rest of the nervous-system ( Dr. Gershon’s incorrectly-named book “The Second Brain”, about the nervous-system of the gut, which is the original brain! )
Freebase was the standard in Vapes for many years. Vaping liquids with freebase nicotine will keep your nic level up for the day. There is not a kick involved. This is different with nic salts. They behave like the nicotine in cigarettes.
Also current vapes have a much higher percentage of nicotine. When I vaped (comming from smoking), I mixed my liquids with 6 mg/ml. I think the standard today is 20 mg/ml. That is the reason, kids like them. Not the taste. You have much smaller clouds, than in the previous generations, but the high doses of nic salt give you a real nice kick.
