Cigarettes used to end up doing more damage than weed, I think, simply because more people smoked them, and that was mainly because nicotine is one of the most addictive chemicals ever marketed. I don't think vaping is good for you, either. There is less evidence about it, because it's newer and because there's no money in lawsuits suing the small timers who make it. It is probably less dangerous than smoking, but I don't even think we know. Dentists hate vaping because it causes tooth decay (cigs probably do too).

I don't disagree with your point. I find it interesting to think about.

I don't think we really know what nicotine vapes do to people. Nicotine itself is well studied. It's not harm-*less* like any stimulant. But it's no big killer. Vaping is sketch. A lot of that shit is Chinese. Even if you have access to decent vapes, a lot of people are buying stuff with no quality control.

The issue that I am aware of with all vapes is that you're inhaling droplets that might contain bacteria. It's bad for your teeth. It might be bad for your lungs, too. I don't think we know.

I'm planning to quit nicotine vapes for the sake of my family. I already quit smoking cigs. So that's harm reduction. There is probably no such thing as "second hand vape" (there is also not really such a thing as second hand smoke unless you work in a smoky diner or something like that (though there is such a thing as air quality -- it's larger than second hand smoke)).
