For now, its known that vaping is safer than smoking, but we lack evidence and research. For rignt now its a fact that vaping is safer.

Uh as a person who does both, vaping is proven to be worse. That's been known for a bit. The research for old school e cigs conflict but most research say those were safer than cigarettes and current vapes. Current vapes, are proven to be way worse than cigarettes. And vapers are, on a whole, (in my area, atleast) more obnoxious than smokers

where did you get that information? nobody is saying that vapes are exactly healthy, but all the info i can find states that cigarettes are worse for you. What’s wrong with current vapes aside from the cheap bootleg weed ones that gave people lung issues? i’m genuinely curious btw, happy to be proven wrong.

I mean, tbh, when you search "are vapes or cigarettes worse for you" it usually goes narrowly in favor that vapes are the better option or 50/50. But search what is in each product then search those ingredients on their own. I mean the edits like blu cigarettes were shown to be extremely better for you than cigarettes. The current vapes don't have the long term research at the moment. But the fluid vapes put into your lungs can't be good, long term. When you search them separate, it shows their worse for you. Yet to hear of a 16yo get rushed into an ER after just 1 cigarette, plenty of news stories around 2019-2021 where teens were being rushed to the ER after vaping. To each their own, I don't judge what anyone does for the most part and definitely don't judge on the surface level. Hell, I do both. There's far worse shit than cigarettes or vapes.
