    Yeah, that’s in no way worse than inhaling smoke and dozens of proven carcinogens…

    Vaping is worse than nothing, but the notion that it’s worse than smoking is completely deranged.

        They are not to be believed. I’m shocked you fell for a Truth campaign, if that’s what you’re insinuating.

        No one claims vaping is good for you, but there is very little evidence of the damage they may cause up until this point, and basically anything is better than smoking a cigarette.

        There are a lot of issues we could discuss, such as how addictive they are, or how they’re often owned by big tobacco rebranding themselves in deceitful ways, but the grandiose claims are overwhelmingly fabricated.

            See the long reply to your comment. I’ve seen you around whenever I log on, and you’re often loud and wrong. I’ve discovered it’s a safe bet to go against most of what you say.

            Whether metals are transferred from the coil to the aerosol is unknown.

            In this study, they heated the coil to a very high temp that is not indicative of actual e cig usages.

            Additionally, we use different metals for coils now. Instead deferring to stainless steel or ceramic heating elements which are not affected in the same way as this study indicates.

            It’s still not as bad as smoking but it is dangerous, especially with off brand or damaged vapes. If you don’t regularly clean and inspect your vape you can end up getting terrible infections or some fairly toxic chemicals.

            Vaping has also caused a spike in STDs which is fun.
