People who vaped but never smoked, do you regret vaping? (feddit.uk)

I am curious to hear from people who started vaping without having smoked beforehand.

I'm curious about these things - feel free to respond to as many or as few of them as you wish. Primarily I am thinking about nicotine, but feel free to reply if you vape something different.

What age were you when you started vaping? Feel free to reply with a vague range (e.g. 12-15) or description (e.g. young teen / adult)
Why did you start?
Do you regret having ever started? If so, why do you regret it?
Have you noticed any long-term negative health effects from vaping?
Do you feel that the socialogical and/or legal issues around vaping are more or less of a concern than health effects? (e.g. having to go outside to vape, vaping being banned/restricted in certain places/situations/countries, the risks of vaping being more legally controlled in future, etc.)
Do you feel that the financial cost of vaping is more or less of a concern than the health effects?

No need to follow the numbered format or anything, this isn't a survey, I'm just looking for answers to these questions for my own personal curiosity! Also, feel free to add any more information that you wish!

Please only share from your personal experience - no links to news stories or studies, please.

Also, not interested in responses from ex-smokers, sorry - those can be found in huge volume already.

Heh. "That word you keep saying. I do not think it means what you think it means....."

Seriously mate, consult a doctor instead of the internet if you want truth instead of your own chosen fiction.

You’re the only person I’ve had a problem with in all of these comments, I would have really appreciated your opinion and I would have enjoyed hearing more about your experiences, but you’re talking down to me and treating me poorly for asking challenging questions and sharing non-controversial facts. Not only that but you’re making massive assumptions about my opinions and actions. And despite all of that, you still think that you’re in the right. It’s unbelievably arrogant behaviour, and I really hope you overcome it.
