Welcome to ecf, @sujitdas.
Do you currently smoke cigarettes and want to quit? If not, I’d say probably no.

In the end I would say, no, unless you are already a smoker and are looking for a way to quit. Vaping is harm reduction, not harm elimination. It’s less bad than cigarettes. That’s not a real high bar though it does vault over it.
I don't, but my friends does. They look very nice... thats why
If you don't already smoke, there is no need for you to start vaping. The majority of us here used vaping to get off tobacco. Myself, I smoked for 42 years. I tried everything to quit smoking and vaping was the thing that did it for me. If you don't already have a nicotine addiction, it's a bad idea for you to develop one.
Peer pressure and nicotine use can be very insidious. That is how I got hooked on cigarettes for 30 years.
Chances are there is probably no access to zero nicotine disposable vapes in your part of the world, and you will rely on whatever is available. Not only are they costly, but are also a huge drain on the environment in terms of energy resources and litter.
I have a friend who never smoked cigarettes and took up vaping out of boredom during the first Covid pandemic. Thinking that 5% nicotine disposables were probably no big deal, he now regrets taking it up and is hopelessly addicted.
Coming to this forum to ask if it's a good idea indicates to me that you probably are already vaping and need validation. Just note that most of us here are using high-end reusable gear and are making our own eliquid to dial in what is appropriate for our needs as ex-smokers and know exactly what we are inhaling.
If you have never smoked cigarettes and haven't started vaping, you might consider being an example to your friends and not be a follower. They will be looking at you with envy in a short while.

Welcome to ECF, sujitdas. I'd have to wholeheartedly agree with all the above answers to your question. It's been said so I'll say it again, if you don't smoke - don't start vaping. If you can get or already have access to 0 nic ejuice, you can try it out I guess (vaping that is), I guess. But as someone who thought for a few seconds about being a doctor, I'd have to say No.
I don't smoke, but my colleagues are, and it looks so fascinating
Where're you from?True Thank you
What's the vape scene there?I'm guessing there's a big smoking culture, as was here.

The advantage of disposables is only if it is illegal. They are much more expensive long term, but because each is not, if it is confiscated you are out less. Rebuildables have a higher up front cost, but in the long term are much much cheaper. And they allow TC which mechs like disposables do not. If vaping is illegal they make some sense. If it is legal though rebuildables offer much better economics
