>The cardiovascular risks of nicotine may be mitigated by vaping but not eliminated
Cancer Research UK certainly don't have a dog in the commercial fight and fund/publish much research which doesn't really support the contention that there is any risk in the quantities of nicotine consumed - many vapes are nicotine free and the most popular lines are 3mg/10ml. The 'throat hit' is provided by PG component not nicotine - and there's 50 years of PG safety data as an inhalant.
> the success of Juul is alarming because it is creating a whole new class of nicotine addicts
One of the most surprising things about vaping's success in smoking cessation is the effectiveness of these relatively small amounts - a heavy smoker would previously have been intaking 80mg a day - you'd have to vape continually to get even a third of that from the highest legal strength of vape. Not contending that nicotine isn't addictive, but it's a mistake to think that nicotine is the only factor in addiction to smoking or to think of tobacco addiction as synonymous to nicotine addiction.
Nicotine also has positive effects on health of course https://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/Nicotine_It_may_have_a_good_side
