Is vaping better than smoking?

[Charliefretz329]

Yes

No

Both are equally bad

[Kaneki05]

It's way better anyone who say it's not is lying and wants you to keep smoking cigs for some reason.
Cigs have Arsenic, Tar and Carbon monoxide ya know what vaping don't have? All of those. And guess what's killing you from a cig? All of those. And ya know what chemicals are never ever put in food for safety reasons? These.

Now what do vape liquids have in them Propylene glycol, what's that you ask? Oh a non-dangerous chemical that's used for many things and put into many foods we eat? To compare that to Arsenic or any chemicals in cigs is absurd because the difference is significantly clear.

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

vaping has 3x the nicotine. And other chemicals plus causing scaring. of the lungs. Not so harmless as you think.

[Kaneki05]

"vaping has 3x the nicotine." You haven't seen a vape liquid bottle in your life have you? Anyone who has seen one can tell you they have the exact amount of Nicotine labeled upon them and you can easily opt for lower percentages to 0. It's very transparent to the point you can 0 Nic liquids, you can even get nic shots to put the exact amount of nic you want in them you are 100% in control of how much nic you get.
Personally myself gets very low nic or 0 because nic is not actually a bad thing in very small amounts it's a stimulant with positive effects until abused.

The chemicals in vape liquid are mostly harmless the worst ones are such limited amounts if they did have any effect on you, you would die and age way before then.
Think about this cigs have so much bad chemicals at very high amounts yet it can take someone smoking for years for it to catch up, how long do you think very little amount of bad chemicals in the hundredth decimals will take compared to that.
I'll tell you a 100 years which if you live to be that long then you should be fine with having bad effects then lol.

Doubt any of that is “good” but I would think that vaping has to be marginally better. They claim there are not the cancer causing chemicals and compounds in them. However there is so little history on the vaping stuff. I catch jackasses at the bar trying to do that and hold it in so they don’t exhale the vape cloud or whatever you call that. That is an instant bounce from our bar. So I don’t think you can say one is better than the other right now. Best not put shit in your lungs that ain’t supposed to be there for starters. They are already putting too much of the liquid courage in the stomach. Lay off the vapors of any kind.

[FreyaRed]

Nicotine has very complicated metabolism in mammalian bodies and it's still not 100% researched. Smoking is surely more damaging for lungs but high nicotine concentration over longer time caused by vaping can increase cancer risk in other organs.
There is no healthy use of nicotine, it's a very effective and deadly nerve poison created by plants to deter plant eaters

[Kaneki05]

Actually nicotine in very small amounts is a healthy stimulant, bringing upon the same positives as caffeine. The reason to why people feel fatigue after abusing nicotine is much alike to you abusing any other stimulate, but a stimulate in small doses always has healthy uses.

[genericname85]

i would say "we don't know". cause we do not have decades of research on the consequences of vaping. it's too new to have reliable long term studies. so the only thing that you can rightfully say is that "vaping is not known to be as bad as smoking". but if it actually is as bad, less bad or worse... only time will tell.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

It says it's less harmful than smoking, but that it is still bad for you. I have some friends that vape but they don't use anything that has nicotine in it. So, it's just this flavored liquid stuff they're breathing in and out. You can still harm your lungs and scar them. Maybe not the same way as smoking but it still happens. It's best to just breathe air and nothing else in your lungs. But only you can decide whether or not you want to take the health risks with vaping.

[FunkyMonkee]

Only slightly better in that you're not sucking in nicotine but, why do you NEED to smoke anything at all?
The bad part about vaping is that what you're "smoking" is formaldehyde so, basically, you're embalming yourself!

[Kaneki05]

You do know that vaping contains roughly about 0.08mircograms of Formaldehyde, ya wanna know how cigs contains? Up to 8.8micrograms.
Do the maths there and figure out which is significantly less to the point it don't even matter.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Kaneki05 I don't give a fuck, they're both bad for you. Why would you wanna suck on either one? what do they do for you? Big deal! You can blow smoke out of your mouth!! So what?

[Kaneki05]

You made a point about vaping been bad with the chemical formaldehyde at question, yet it's literally 100x times less the amount that's in a cig and that's just going against 1 cig nvm if you have multiple.
Therefore making a statement vaping is bad because formaldehyde is absurdly dumb when cigs give 100x the amount alone in one cig.

Then you turn around and say so what? When your point is proven to be pointless, ignorance at best :)

[FunkyMonkee]

@Kaneki05 Yeah, and it is!
Yeah, so what that you can blow smoke out of your mouth!

[Zenpanda]

In some ways yes.
There is no tar and you can have the without nicotine so it's not as addictive.
On the other hand they seem to cause lung problems way faster than cigarettes do.

[Curmudgeon]

All of the nicotine, none of the either cancer causing or cancer aggravating smoke particles. What's not to like?

[OfMiceandMen]

There's a lot of chemicals associated with vaping so I am not absolutely convinced it is safer.

[Paris13]

My Roomie's Health Has Improved A Lot Since Giving up the CIGS... xxoo

[Nikki1989]

There is a lot of evidence to suggest it is even worse than cigs.

[Fireguy17]

from what I have seen vaping is even worse than smoking if you can believe that.

[exitseven]

No, at least smoking looked sort of cool. Watching people vape looks ridiculous.

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

Causes more lung damage in a shorter amount of time!

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

You keep on believing what they are telling you what in it You go for little nicotine. While you're looking up numbers look up vaping lung damage and deaths you might be surprised how many there for the number of people who vape vs people who smoke

[Wiredone]

There have been studies that say vaping is worse than smoking.

[strateguy632]

depends on the chemical some better but risky can't know which

[Minahh]

No as a bio student, there are actually studies that it might be worse than smoking

[Kaneki05]

I would love to see so called studies that somehow proves that Carbon monoxide, Arsenic, Tar the rest of the chemicals that are in Cigs are somehow less worse than the few harmless chemicals in vape liquid like Propylene Glycol.

[Minahh]

There's literally toxic chemicals in them acetaldehyde, acetone, acrolein, formaldehyde, diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione which cause lung damage and heart problems. I said might because it's a new fenomenon and it needs to be studied more. Cigarettes were once claimed as "healthy" too.

[Kaneki05]

You do know how little in quantity's these chemicals are in? Compared to cigs. There in the hundredth decimal point meaning they really won't effect you at all.
Also Diacetyl is not in vape liquid it was banned from been used ages ago, so I think you need to do more research before you start saying stuff that's untrue.
Personally I've done tons of research into it and know my stuff, and just by logic there is no way they could be more harmful than the amount in cigs.

Formaldehyde for example in a average vaper day it's roughly about 0.08 micrograms one takes in, but with cigs while in one cig alone it can have up to 8.8 micrograms even the lowest cig at about 3.4 is still tons more compared to a 0.08
And that's just in one cig so when they take multiple that stacks. So there numbers alone are 100x more and counting.

The only research that I've found against vapes is allergic reactions but that can happen with anything.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I dislike both.

[electromagnetic]

If it goes into the lungs, no difference.

[Jmmmfi4]

BOTH ARE COMPLETELY DISGUSTING

[LaurenM1997]

No they are both bad stinky and yuck 🤢

[ChicoFromThe305]

I don't think so, my lungs suffered anyways

[laly520]

both so harmful
there is no better in smoking

[Miah04]

I don't know. I just keeps away from both

[AviatorTom]

They are both disgusting!

[ab2shifty]

Personally I think air is better 😎

[jamesgoldman]

Both are bad but at least cigars are enjoyable

[LavLavLuv]

Both=bad

[sirderpsalot123]

I doubt it

[Kingofkings1992]

It’s worse
