People who vaped but never smoked, do you regret vaping? (feddit.uk)

I am curious to hear from people who started vaping without having smoked beforehand.

I'm curious about these things - feel free to respond to as many or as few of them as you wish. Primarily I am thinking about nicotine, but feel free to reply if you vape something different.

What age were you when you started vaping? Feel free to reply with a vague range (e.g. 12-15) or description (e.g. young teen / adult)
Why did you start?
Do you regret having ever started? If so, why do you regret it?
Have you noticed any long-term negative health effects from vaping?
Do you feel that the socialogical and/or legal issues around vaping are more or less of a concern than health effects? (e.g. having to go outside to vape, vaping being banned/restricted in certain places/situations/countries, the risks of vaping being more legally controlled in future, etc.)
Do you feel that the financial cost of vaping is more or less of a concern than the health effects?

No need to follow the numbered format or anything, this isn't a survey, I'm just looking for answers to these questions for my own personal curiosity! Also, feel free to add any more information that you wish!

Please only share from your personal experience - no links to news stories or studies, please.

Also, not interested in responses from ex-smokers, sorry - those can be found in huge volume already.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. How long had you been vaping before you lost your vape?

6 months or so, I'd say
