Does vaping normalise smoking?
On the contrary, vaping denormalizes smoking by showing that it is possible to consume nicotine without the foul smell, dirty ashtrays, and suffocating smoke. It makes classic cigarettes look outdated by replacing them with a technological and clean object. Far from being a gateway to tobacco, it is for the vast majority of users a definitive exit door. It breaks the social and visual link with combustion, which is a victory for society.
Studies on the "gateway effect" show that most young vapers would probably have never smoked, or use vaping specifically to avoid starting cigarettes. For those in cessation, seeing someone vape is often less tempting than seeing someone smoke a "fag." If you worry for those around you, remember that vaping is an act of risk reduction, and do not hesitate to ask a doctor for advice to explain this nuance.
