It's a stop-gap solution at best and no solution at all at worst. It's not the nicotine that kills, but the carcinogenic compounds carried with it. They would serve the public far better by promoting vaping as a replacement for traditional tobacco products instead of treating vaping as 'just ad bad' as smoking despite at least one study evidencing a harm level 95% lower than traditional tobacco.
Even when our government gets it right, they can't help but fuck up.
I always heard that with light cigarettes. They where filtering more, but that just meant that you could smoke more, and inhale them deeper; which didn't end up being of real benefit in the end. I agree, that just limiting the nicotine is probably worse, not better. Unless they are talking about reduced nicotine cigarettes to help people that want to quit.
I was able to quit completely by switching to vaping. Then I was addicted to vaping, but it was easier to cut back the NIC. I actually quit for a short time, and though I decided that I liked it, and I wanted to vape a little, I am now at 0 nicotine and could quit fairly easily. Which is good, because tax and spend Gov. Wolfe decided to raise the taxes on vaping to 60% rather than actually govern well.
