One million UK people who have never smoked are now vaping

If you take a typical smoker, they will get something like 15 puffs from a cigarette. So 20 cigarettes per day = 300 puffs.

From what I have seen of vapers - who often have the vape in their hand almost continuously, I expect the take more puffs per day than they would take as a smoker.

I think it is safe to say that the higher the number of puffs, the higher the dependence on the vape.

and she is the type that has done her research properly

I am sure she has looked into it, in the same way an alcoholic has researched the effects of long term alcohol dependency.

"When she answers the call to talk to BBC News for this article, Gracey says that without thinking about it, she had been lying in bed, with her vape in one hand, and her other hand scrolling Instagram."

"Like Gracey, Malin Andersson, who vaped until recently, says her habit went hand in hand with doomscrolling."

What a glorious life!

An adult making an informed choice? That is how the industry would describe her.

Or an addict? Is how she describes herself.

As you say, it is up to her to decide to carry on, or stop.

According to my sister giving up smoking is easy.
She must be right as she has done so hundreds of times.
