    If we looked at the whole population though, and saw adults switching from cigarettes to vaping, would we say smoking is a gateway drug to vaping?

    I don't get your first comment at all. Smoking lowers appetite. People typically gain a lot of weight when they quit. So, what expected weight gain from smoking is there? It's a mild stimulant, not a depressant
