This is statically highly improbable. Why do you know so many

A lot of my friends are musicians, artists, and service industry people. People in those fields tend to smoke at much higher prevalences than the general population.

Worse how? Economically? Physiologically? I can maybe believe the former, but no way on the latter.

Other than radical differences in health impact, you're right.

Had a similar conversation with a friend that vapes worse than a chain smoker smokes cigs.
And hopefully you were on the side that this is a stupid claim.

s cigs. He kept going on and on about the water vapor, and how safe it is, etc. etc.
Right. But even then, people were dying of lung cancer in droves.

If the long-term effects are anywhere as bad as they are for cigarettes, there will be some major repercussions for a large segment of the younger population.
I suppose its possible, but we're into like 15 years of these stupid things and no such wave has come. It's highly likely that they are only marginally bad for the idiots that use them (i.e. WAY safer than cigs)

And all of these pearl clutchers on this thread likely eat terrible, sugar-laden diets which are WAY worse for you than vaping and have known, massive, population-wide health impacts that we continue to ignore.

Vaping is ALMOST as douchy as caring about things other people do that has no impact on you

Because it’s less obtrusive, people hit the Vape more often. It ends up being a larger consumption of the addictive products, and they end up spending a lot more money on it. We don’t know if it’s actually more physically harmful, and I’m sure in similar doses it probably isn’t. However, if you were doing way more vape then you otherwise would be with cigarettes, it could still end up being more harmful if the aggregate.

I know millennials have that big box mod obsession, but vaping is seemingly ubiquitous in Gen Z. Almost all my friends in college vape and none of them would be considered remotely “trashy” by any other metric. Go through any sorority or frat right now and you’ll be in the presence of about 100 vapes. Some of the girls try to hide it at least.

ETA: None of them use the obnoxious box mods, usually things like Elf Bars or Altos/Juuls.

Vaping is grossly disgusting.

I’ll crush those little disposable ones when I’m drinking. They’re a great way to cap off a good buzz without smelling like absolute shite smoking a cigarette.

Yeah I have nothing against it. Vapes aren’t viewed the same way that cigarettes were/are by the younger generation. Doesn’t have the same stigma, even if it’s still bad for your health. Whip out a huge box mod and people will think you’re a douche though.

Not a vape fan.

Trying picturing Ron White vaping.... Think he would look like a douche.


If your going to smoke go for cough or cancer... the popcorn lung from puffing just sounds sissified.

You’re worried about second hand smoke from a vape?



Let me guess, you think being around someone smoking weed will make you fail a drug test too

Yeah I don’t think I’d ever roll around with one of those Thomas the vape engine smoke stack blowing things. But to each their own.

I’ll puff on those little disposable ones though. Better than smoking a cigarette.

I haven’t smoked a cigarette since 2017 so I’m thankful for vapes. Trashy? Whatever, I mean, drinking’s pretty trashy to if you think about it.

I don't know if that's the right math, but it's at least plausible.

quote:

Sure we do - smoking very clearly and obviously causes extreme long-term problems (cancer) and myriad short-medium term problems (emphysema, etc.) Vaping might or might not cause some long-term shite, and we'll find out for sure. But prima facie, it seems unlikely to be anywhere in the ballpark of smoking.
