I'm not terribly impress with Netflix's selection of movies for streaming... Netflix and Amazon are producing their own series. It's really hit and miss...

I kind of agree, but for the prices (even though they do creep up, one has to watch that) I think the original content is pretty decent. Certainly good enough to make me choose that over traditional cable TV.

It's nonsensical to think that people would seek alternatives to the cheaper method that they're already using.

Sorry but you failed to not apply logic. Branding, trends and popular culture all push people far away from sensible cheap alternatives, teens rarely make rational reasoned decisions - it's how it feels instead.

On the surface, I agree with Lord Kano. If vaping is cheaper, I'm not sure why anyone would go to cigarettes. Branding, trends, and popular culture are pushing to discourage cigarettes. Vaping seems much more popular.

That being said, it shouldn't be much of a leap to have some solid studies to see if people are in fact using vape as a stepping stone to cigs.

Gold is inarguably a currency...

Is gold a currency? People don't carry gold around to buy goods & services. It *can* be traded for goods, but I think that must be rare. It's usually converted into a currency to provide its purchasing power.
