I always felt like there is some propaganda going on in the other direction too. I see people online saying e cigarettes are just as bad and cause cancer just like cigarettes everywhere, despite the fact that except for vitamine e acetate in some illegal thc cartridges there arent really any risks found related to it anywhere near to the levels of smoking.

The anti-vaping effort seems to be run by a lot of shallow thinkers who just think “cigarettes zomg!” I never would have been able to quit cigarettes without vaping. And now I’ve been totally nicotine and vape free for 5 years.

I feel like hyperbole is maybe the issue here.

Vapes are an order of magnitude less bad in terms of health outcomes than cigarettes. But cigarettes are catastrophically bad in terms of health outcomes. And that leaves vapes being moderately bad, and we should not be striving for a world where we 1:1 replace smokers with vapists, but decrease the number of users of both.

Im not sure about the exact ratio, but i agree that the risks are not well researched enough and so we should be cautious (and of course nicotine itself is harmful for the developing brain). The best alternative in my opinion would be tobacco free nicotine pouches that are only harmful for dental health.

You’re just making that up though. It’s not a fact.
