The parent is copy/pasting from the linked press release from Trump which exclusively links to donaldtrumpcampaign.cmail20.com. They know they're arguing in bad faith.

Please don't try again, I'm not trying to be condescending. If not for yourself, for the people you love. Nicotine addiction is particularly insidious.

Lots of people gave me this advice the few times I was addicted, I ignored them all and simply thought they were talking down to me ("of course, I know it's bad for you", "I can quit whenever I want") so I understand if you interpret it that way. Once you've seen yourself or a loved one go through it and survive (or worse) you have a different reaction, a bit like seeing someone standing on the tracks while a train is approaching. Wishing you good health.

Big Tobacco entered the market around 2012-2013.

It's not obvious, that's why we're studying it. In fact some studies have shown that e-cigarettes may not lead to cessation.

E-cigarette aerosols vary greatly, as well as the temperatures that various devices heat them to.

> as any smoker that was into vaping could and did tell you

Anecdotal evidence may be unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases.

I pick up trash in my neighborhood. It makes the neighborhood cleaner and more enjoyable for all. You might be overthinking this.

Shame it's so easy to get comments flagged and killed on HN. The parent comment wasn't inflammatory and (as we can see) contributed to relevant conversation.
