    Again, smoking is not vaping. Vaping has not been shown to cause any of the conditions you mentioned.

    You are inhaling a foreign substance directly into your lungs.
    Look up what exactly causes that smoke.

    When you post a link, and gratuitously leave out the very first sentence of that cite when you quote it, you are being disingenuous and dishonest in your information, much like the FakeNews. Here is the very first sentence in the paragraph that you failed to include:

    Also absent, is the fact that nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known to man, which explains the reason that it is so difficult for users to stop using it, and ending in COPD. There is always some form of COPD or other ill health effects (heart, lungs etc) from smoking/vaping, no matter how mild. By your logic (flawed that it is) it is perfectly safe to drink alcohol, yet, alcohol addiction is one of the few substances that can kill you, when withdrawing from it. Excess, overdose and addiction are always possible with any "substance", regardless of how benign the substance in it's unabused state. Yes, I can speak from experience, use...and finally, thank GOD, withdrawing and cessation from that substance. We can't control other's use of such products as long as they're available for consumption, but telling someone that it's harmless is faulty logic at best, and outright lying at it's worse. Quit while you can, don't start if you haven't.

    Vaping is far less dangerous than smoking.

    There is no proof whatsoever that vaping causes COPD. ZERO proof.

    What proof do you have that everyone gets COPD from vaping?

    There was no need to include the first sentence as I said it was FROM the link. I was answering a direct question about there being benefits from nicotine.

    Watching your mental meltdowns trying to justify your stance is always halarious.

    That said to avoid being a total douch....here ya go. A good paper on it. There are even a ton of links to several major studys all of which due to a limited sample size and length due to how new vapes are vs the near centry of tobacco use cant CONFIRM copd but all indicators are there.

    The Troubling Truth About COPD and Vaping

    Oh and as a bonus here is one from hopkins
    ..ya know a leader in the health industry. ‘Vaping’ Increases Odds of Asthma and COPD

    And these were from a 5 second google search. Im sure if i gave more then the barest 2 ####s i could find many more.

    and while sure the argument can be made that vapes may be SAFER then cigs overall. but by that same logic, trying to bed the washed up $0.02 lot lizard with fake teeth who your grandpa has storys about, is considerably safer then trying to bed a roided out florida swamp lizard while wearing fresh bacon underpants. That doesnt mean either is a good idea.

    Tobacco products and frankly anything you puff in general are bad for you. Lungs arent supposed to have chemical laced crap in them and anything you put in there that aint air is near certain going to have nasty long term side effects.

    Trying to argue this type of product is "safe" or that it has no health effects at all just shows a level of ignorance on par with some politicians. Then again you have already been caught at best "fudgeing" the truth. So that says a lot.
