Is that 90%+ what you feel or can you provide a profound statistic for that

That 90% is admittedly going by memory of statistical analysis that I’m now unable to find amongst all the anti-vape misinformation and data that focuses only on how many vape and doesn’t show the age distribution.

Anyways, here’s some myths debunked by probably the most reliable and unbiased expert group to weigh in on vapes, the NHS.

This study reports about 20% of high school students using e cigarettes in 2020

That sounds ridiculously high. The highest I’ve seen for 2018 was 2.9%. There’s no way it went from that to 20% in just two years.

I am not saying you are lying, I know it is impossible to memorize all studies you ever read. On the other hand this makes your 90% pretty useless, as it is not clear what is counted here. You mentioning anti-vape misinformtion seems to me like you could be a bit biased, defending vaping for whatever reason.

Ok but that is not how studies work. I am not from the US, but the affiliations of the study I linked seem to be pretty credible:

Office on Smoking and Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, CDC; Center for Tobacco Products, Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, Maryland.

The “myths debunked” may be an interesting read, but it does not contribute anything useful to the discussion.

I don’t want to fight and as a non-smoker I am absolutely open to get convinced by you if you can provide some substancial information. However downvoting me is not really a strong argument.
