I substitute a vape for cigarettes. My doctor told me they aren't good for you either but they are at least 95% safer than cigarettes. I've come to prefer them, except for when I drink bourbon.
Same. It really is better in every way than cigarettes. Barring the douchebag image.
Just as with most things, vaping has also been tainted by fake news.
"Popcorn lung" (caused by inhalation of diacetyl) has never been found in vapers, not even in smokers, and tobacco contains literally hundreds of times more of it. So even if popcorn lung was a concern, vaping would still be better than smoking.
"Vaping illness" end of 2018, with 2500+ cases and about 60 deaths only existed in the US. It turned out this wasn't caused by "normal" vaping, but by the vaping of black market THC cartridges that made their way into dispensers and were contaminated with vitamin E acetate (Which makes the liquid thicker, which is said to show it's more potent). vitamin E acetate is an oil and inhaling oil fumes is well established as a bad thing.
I would also like to say that no, vaping isn't getting scores of youth addicted to nicotine. The high percentages they show us are actually of youth who say they TRIED it, which is of course something very different. non-smokers RARELY become regular vapers. The youth that regularly vapes will go back to much more harmful smoking if you take that vape away.
Edit: Just to clarify, if you don't smoke then DON'T start vaping. It's healthier than smoking, but not healthier than not vaping.
Right??? Omg I see so many SJW’s puffing on their vapes every day
