What future study are you waiting for that will completely state the obvious about what we knew about all along? (kbin.melroy.org)

This study was funded by tobacco companies, only involved cheap disposable vapes that were made in china, and didn't find heavy metals in all samples. It didn't include any of the long term use vapes or coils that you fill with your own juice. No study thats been done on those have ever found any negative health effects.

Like, it's obviously not better for you than just breathing air. But it is also by all evidence better than smoking. But there has been a massive PR push to making vaping the absolute devil and just not mentioning smoking at all. It is anecdotal at best, but I can say that giving up cigarettes for a vape has made my breathing feel significantly better day-to-day. I have people actively smoking cigarettes tell me I need to quit vaping because "it's so bad for you".

Do I think that people that have never smoked should start vaping - absolutely not. Do I think people smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day would be generally healthier if they switched to vaping - absolutely yes.
