It seems like a lot... - Lemmy.World

Don’t vape, but if you’re going to pick up an addictive habit pick up vaping instead of cigarettes/drinking/gacha games. Much less hazardous to your health.
unfortunately vaping is causing cancer which again unfortunately kill you faster than smoking
LOL, based on which study?
more time are need for the side effects of vaping to be better understood but it ain’t safer than smoking. actually there are other diseases related to vaping than the traditional smoking.here is the article thancguide.org/…/how-is-vaping-connected-to-oral-…
Discover the Ways Vaping is Connected to Oral Cancer

Vaping has become a popular form of nicotine intake. Originally meant to help regular smokers quit, new evidence shows that vaping can severely increase your risk of developing cancer.

TL;DR: That article is absolute garbage.

It only makes it through one small paragraph (which is itself a vague lie) before its first specific and ridiculous lie: claiming that a hookah is an early form of vape 🤦

It then links to a 2019 study of mice that, in spite of setting out with a clear confirmation bias, admits that their results showed more cases of cancer-like cell behavior in the mice subjected to tobacco than the ones subjected to e-liquid.

Add to that the fact that they don’t reveal their methodology (beyond the fact that they subjected the mice to their experiments for a full year, which is much longer than most people tend to vape when using it for smoking cessation) and that study is basically useless for proving the hypothesis.

The heavy metals inhalation they then go on to warn about is impossible in real life conditions as the heat required for that to happen simply cannot be achieved by the suction power any human can achieve and, even if you could somehow achieve that, you’d suffer severe burns causing you to stop immediately.

Good lookin’ all around except I’d dispute this claim:
