Substance abuse is popular - alcohol and tobacco

I wonder if tobacco would fall out of use if
smoking is eliminated and there isn't anything
else really satisfactory to do with it unless
you're addicted.  Taken orally, hideous diseases
are risked.  Some people commend smoking for
weight loss.

 
People in our city are "vaping" tobacco now - never saw the interest
frankly.

Are they vaping tobacco, or nicotine with flavors? Nicotine addiction
has its own problems, but cancer isn't one of them.

Vaping has been pushed as a safer alternative to smoking.

I do neither.
