vaping is cool and all... but why not just drink the flavours those vapes are inducing? well... i guess it's the novelty and uniqueness of tasting the air. the lung's primary function is to exchange co2 and o2 for blood circulation, adding particulates other than air (80%N2/20%O2) would probably cause problems around it. not that i know what effects might bring those flavours such as vanilla, chocolate, citrus, etc. extracts lingering in your lung linings and alvioli, and these will accumulate through time (though i guess inhaling hot/steamy air as a way to "cleanse" your airways might work). I'm sure the effects of just purely vaping will be inconclusive and hard to pinpoint with all the apparent diseases you get as you grow older and by that time you'll be already dead before it gets claimed as such. we'll see from future research and findings.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/e-cigarettes-an-evidence-update
Vaping is 95% less harmful than conventional cigarettes. From the government that has done the most research on it. And their "souce" doesn't actually contain anything other than "nicotine is bad for you", which fucking everybody already knows lol.
Edit: Anecdotally, I smoked for over 10 years, and switched to vaping when I started waking up with severe coughing fits that lasted upwards on 20 minutes. Since switching, no coughing fits and zero breathing issues. Would it be healthier to quit vaping too? Absolutely nobody contests that. What I'm contesting is that vaping is as bad for you as smoking cigarettes is. Which it, factually, is not.
i don't really recommend vaping even though it doesn't directly harm and endanger the health of others. i guess it's fine, as long as you know what you're getting into. but please don't smoke cigarettes, especially in the public. public perception might change later for better or worse, but better steer clear from it in the beginning.
