Nicotine is not the problem, people do not get ill or die from Nicotine. The smoke is the problem, the tar droplets, the whole chemistry of low temperature burning. This is different to your beer/scotch example.
Besides, the delivery way does have influence on the addictiveness: tar-delivered Nicotin is incorporated very fast, seconds after a draw the smoker feels the ffect. With vape you have to keep it up for 10 minutes or longer until the nic-levels in the serum increase. Now there is a rule that the duration between application and feeling the effect is one of the factors deciding about the addictivness of the substance and indeed there was a study where doctors tried to create a nicotin addiction with vape in people who had never smoked before - and failed.
The missing alkaloids (MOAI) may play a role here, too.
I was hunting for that stuff when I started the transition from a moderate long time smoker to vaping. WTA is unavailable in Europe, the best I could find was drinking tea of maracuja flowers (which happen to carry higher levels of some of the alkaloids). I did some other things to strengthen my back, like documenting every single day in a huge excell sheet. Sounds anal but it helped me in many weak moments to look at the column of pyro-free days and tell myself I'd have to start new all over if I smoke a cig now.
Smoking for >42 years. Vaping for 528 days now, with a period of mixed use of just one month. I never thought I could let go of tobacco until I got that box with an usb port that even lets me fiddle with its firmware so I can run an open source firmware on it
There is a lot of anti vape propaganda around, the government hates me avoiding tobacco taxes, anti-addiction fundamentalists happily join with big tobacco lobbyist to push all sorts of FUD against vaping. The tobacco industry looks at dwindling sales and the anti-addiction evangelists fear for once guaranteed funding.
The talk of health is just that, talk. If health organisations like the WHO were seriously trying to help reduce the health impact of smoking they would at least research the phenomenon before opposing it. But vaping as a way out of smoking endangers the position of professional tabacco abuse specialists, simply because they are not needed for it and it wasn't their idea. Vaping emerged in a grass root way, uncontrolled by institutions or corporations and the opponents of vaping agree that this is unacceptable.
but seriously: the problem does not seem that serious at all: encrypted media are still encrypted and what you get is like a rescue shell. You can damage the encrypted media, but this is the case as soon as there is physical access to the machine. TFA says you can install a keylogger but if you have physical access you can plug in the logger between keyboard and usb even faster.
diamonds are not that seldom and there are a number of well known process to artificially create them. The tingle of luxury or uniqueness about them is due to a well guarded monopoly on the supply and distribution side and fine marketing. Linking the mineral to engagement in a mainstream sexually repressive culture like they have in large parts of NA was a mature feat for deBeers and basically it is frustrated testosterone which gives the tingle and wow to all those diamond stories like this one.
just to add my 2c this is very good news, I appreciate each of these changes and it is very good to see a dev active and responding again, after so long. picking https as the first is reasonable and IPv6 and utf8 will hopefully follow soon.
gonna be fun then, for we'll have to root the fridge, the smart bulbs, the smoke detectors, each of them or we cannot change the hosts file. Now with evry downloaded firmware update your lightbulbs (each of them) go into blinking mode and, since they are rooted and cannot install the update silently, you have to address and fastboot them, one by one, and then re-root, and then reinstall the edited hosts file, and reboot the bulb. Possible, but not feasable
was'nt it the smart tv which sends a live stream of the living room to servers in Korea? Now of course the IT guys there will do the same thing Snowden reported of the NSA folks, sharing the best among themselves. Sooner or later those find their way to a tumblr of xhamster, posted from there to your fav pr0n chat and that's how you get to lnow your wife's lovers. And vice versa. In the long run this will void a lot of hyprocisy
If a key which is in the hands of a company (Apple, Huawei,...) is your only line of defence WRT the security/privacy of content you supply or save, then you should regard this content to be public and open for preying eyes already. I think it is called "trusted" in that negative, military sense. Just like email sent to a @gmail.com account or company secrets in an office365 account. Your grandma and neighbour won't get there, police/law enforcement will have sever problems. But 3LetterAgencies of many governments will read it if they want to.

actually the first comment I#d mod up in the entire conversation up here
this will be a bitter taste of fun and I may speak for many saying we'd rather not have to make those jokes.
That said, you don't need a nation to make him look like a fool.
You don't need anyone else at all.
