How is vaping treated in your country, at the moment?
Hi. Long-time vaper here, by now almost 10 years, after having smoked for almost 40 years. Stopped doing that the evening that I first tried vaping, haven't touched a cigarette since.
I'm still astounded that the Dutch governments and health agencies discredit vaping, and consider it to be the route towards smoking, instead as a means of quitting. I wonder how your country is treating vaping?

Sadly, Canada is little better. They've done an excellent job of vilifying vaping, and most provinces have taxed it so heavily as to discourage it over other tobacco use.
I was a pack a day smoker for more than 20 years, and was finally able to quit with the use of a JUUL. I later transitioned open pod vapes, and then to lower-strength freebase nicotine (20mg/ml). I was fortunate enough to get into DIY before our regulations made it pretty well impractical for mouth-to-lung vapers.
I got into DIY already in 2013, via a Dutch vapers' forum. We had monthly meetings at my house learning but coils, batteries and making liquids :)
Such a disaster that vaping has been villified. Yes, it's still nicotine, but without all the extra additions, and without having to burn stuff.
