Vaping is great!
Vaping is one of the most positive developments in public health this century. Science is firmly on the side of vaping. Unlike cigarette smoke, vape-smoke has been proven to be benign – just water vapour, trace amounts of generally-harmless nicotine additives, glycerine and some other food additives. Unlike cigarettes, as a non-addictive substance, vape-juice is a serious medicinal product, designed primarily to save lives by helping people quit smoking. Millions of lives have already been saved by vaping. Unlike the discredited Big Tobacco companies, vaping products companies tend to be small independents, ran by public-spirited, ethically-minded people. And the best thing is, vape smoke is harmless – it may even assist in treating some colds and flus! There is no scientific or rational justification for subjecting the vaping community to the apartheid treatment meted out to cigarette smokers; and any attempt to do so stems from outdated prejudice and sheer ignorance.

The above paragraph is (of course) unmitigated balderdash
The above paragraph is a reasonable synopsis of the pernicious, persuasive propaganda that has been (very skilfully) propagated by Big Vaping-Tobacco companies (as we’ll see, in 2018, the two are largely indistinguishable). It has found receptive ears on a lightly-engaged and complacent non-smoking public, on some gullible public health officials; and, naturally, it has been lapped up uncritically and enthusiastically (even zealously) by smokers and new vapers alike.
