Why don't we just let them go back to Marlboro's, hard liquor, weed, and sex like the old days. Seems like everyone got on just fine.

I'd ban all this shit outright. My kids have a bunch in their school who do it apparently. Big shock, hey it's not actually benign.

But it's pretty much established that vaping is significantly less harmful than the combustion of tobacco and all the other shit in cigarettes.
That being said, aren't most vape products nicotine-free anyway..? I'm not sure on that though. Sounds like just another thing government wants to get its hands on.
Okay, did some research. Apparently vape goop actually has really low nicotine content per bottle. A typical cigarette has 8-20mg of nicotine, but you can only absorb about 1+mg of it. It is also worth noting that per volume, nicotine is the most addicting substance ever discovered to my knowledge. 1mg is 1/1000th of a gram!! So we know cigarettes are already pretty damn addicting.
On the other hand, if vape juice only contains about the nicotine of a single cigarette in an entire bottle, which to my knowledge can last quite a while, that's not a whole lot of nicotine being absorbed by vapers. But is it enough to cause addiction? It might be. But I think it's probably more emotionally addictive/habit forming rather than physically addictive. I haven't heard of vapes causing withdrawals, but I guess if you're just smoking all day, I'm sure it's possible...
Truth be told, Arizona iced tea alone is far more of a public health epidemic based on obesity/diabetes... Even if vaping is a problem, one is clearly worse in this case. You'd think the bigger issue would take priority.

Well... Is pipe tobacco typically inhaled? I honestly don't know. I guess it would still be absorbed, but at a much slower rate than directly into the lungs, so it's probably a lot easier to avoid addiction with pipe tobacco.
Apparently a ton of people think chewing tobacco is beyond disgusting, so I can't speak to it. Saw a dude vomit from it once, which was hilarious and a warning.
On the gunpowder, we're still talking about an issue of mental habit/dependency as opposed to actual physical withdrawal symptoms though. On the other hand, maybe it could be argued that without vapes, teens could move to far more harmful cigarettes, so the lesser of two evils is probably better here.
