My grandmother smoked two packs a day for 87 years (started at 10, lived to 97), and also chewed a pack of Wrigley's gum every day, and drank a 6-pack nearly every night of her life... Doctors tried to list her cause of death as "smoking related" until her 47 grandchildren piled on top of him and said, "NO". My grandfather (her husband) died at 88, and never smoked a day in his life... he was a coal miner... again, they tried to list it as "smoking related"... :eyeroll:
My dad died at 72, of Leukemia, from working with Asbestos for decades... and they tried to list his death as "smoking related", even though he had quit when he was 40 (after smoking a pack a day for 24 years and had a heart-attack due to stress and poor eating habits)... again... we had to step in and have the real cause listed.
This is why I do not give a lick of credibility to "smoking related death" statistics....
As for minors vaping... well, the laws have made it illegal for anyone under 18 (or 21) to buy, posses, or smoke a tobacco product, but teens continue to be one of the larger age-groups for smoking... In my opinion, making it illegal only makes it more enticing... and that also goes for underage drinking, drugs, driving prior to having a license, firearms, etc. etc. etc....
I have no problems seeing a teen vaping to quit their smoking habit (that they probably picked up at the ripe age of 12), but I do have issues with ANYONE underage, vaping, that has never smoked... and I don't understand those adults that take up vaping to be "cool" or "do tricks"... and I'll leave it at that...
