I think it's more accurate to say that vaping is less dangerous than smoking, but still harmful. Exactly how harmful is not yet fully determined.
I would probably agree, but I think we're really just arguing semantics at that point. It is interesting to see what advances.will be made in the nicotine industry and what research will tell us about vaping in the future.
Like I said, I don't vape. I don't smoke cigarettes. I will smoke a cigar maybe twice a year on special occassions, but I'm no cigar enthusiast by any means - at least not compared to true enthusiasts.
That's the extent of my nicotine use and even that much is more than what's advisable, which would be zero. Nicotine is a pretty terrible drug. Short-acting, highly addictive and a weak buzz. No buzz for frequent users, actually; it's just a habit for them. Not to mention all the health risks.
So as far as drugs go there are much better choices than nicotine.
But if someone forced my hand I'd rather see an adult vaping than smoking.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
