    Folks sure like defending vaping. “Hey our addiction is better than the old addiction that was also presented as not that harmful until we found out it was harmful, but vaping isn’t for sure because trust me bro.”

    Oh look - more intellectually dishonest anti-vaping propaganda…

    I smoked for thirty years before I discovered vaping and switched. My lungs feel better now than they have at any other point within my memory.

    But if whichever lying shitstains are responsible for this clearly deliberate propaganda campaign had their way about it, I would’ve never gotten that chance, and I’d still be smoking, and dying or dead.

    And why? What’s their goal? Why are they trying so hard, and so brazeny dishonestly, to undermine a thing that can save lives? What’s their interest in making it impossible for people like me to have an alternative that’s undeniably at the very least MUCH less of a health risk? Why do they want smokers to keep smoking, and keep dying?

      Why spend so much on propaganda against vaping. Just do it like they did in my country and pay a few lobbyists so they increase the taxes on liquids by 5000% so the tabacco companies can take over that market with harmful e-waste disposables, too. *sigh*

      Yay lets inhale glycerine vapor, thats really good… Yes your lungs need all the sugar coating they can get. Go vape in a car with the windows up once all the smoke is gone try to look out the windows. Thats happening to your lungs dude…

        I don’t think they’re making an argument that vaping is healthy, just that it’s less harmful than literal ash in your lungs.

          You dont inhale ash… And vaping isnt healthy by any means. Lungs are ment to process gasses not liquids suspended in //those gases

          //Smoke particulates and resins are not ash

    More bullshit without all the facts. The two cases of popcorn lung were directly linked to the binding agent propylene glycol in one batch of “overseas” vape liquid. Now I’m not stupid enough to think that sucking any type of substance into your lung besides oxygen is ideal but it’s one hell of a lot better that conventional combustion smoking.

    what a load of bullocks:

    Scientists still don’t fully understand the association between vaping and lung disease, so it’s unclear what role vaping may have played in Allard’s case.
