Calling vaping tobacco use is like likening a painkiller to eating tree bark.
Yes the nicotine comes from tobacco, but hundreds of other compounds are removed, and smoking or chewing tobacco is cancerous, AFAIK vaping is not, or more precisely less than 1% the toxicity of tobacco.

Vaping would be a great alternative to smoking cigarettes. As a substitute, it can aid in the process of trying to quit smoking altogether.

The goal, however, is always to remain or become smoke free.

Vaping feels cleaner than cigarettes and tastes better when you haven’t smoked before. It makes it easier to start smoking. Once you are vaping, you have a higher chance of picking up cigarettes than if you haven’t vaped before.

Also, I’d argue that putting nicotine in the growing bodies of kids and youngsters isn’t the best idea to begin with, no matter the form of presentation…

Vaping is not smoking. Smoke comes from fire, fire also produces toxic stuff when burning that is inhaled when smoking tobacco. Vaping evaporates the oil, nothing is burning or smoking.

Complete bullshit. Zero evidence.

But one os his hundreds of times less harmful. It’s like comparing smoking crack cocaine to smoking weed.
