    Yeah, this and also, whatever happened to the age old advice “inhaling anything but clean air is bad for your health”? That doesn’t vanish because you’re replacing something which is worse for your health.

      We know that inhaling tobacco smoke is bad for you, and we have a good idea of how bad and why, because science.

      That same kind of science hasn’t been done on vaping. The handful of studies I’m aware of have all been horribly designed. From a data standpoint, that makes vaping an unknown.

      However.

      The only major incident that’s even vape-adjacent was when some knobs were putting Vit E acetate into bathtub THC cart refills. I’m not saying it’s impossible that there are conditions that haven’t yet been linked to vaping, but the more time passes, the more people who are vaping, and still no “epidemic” level of disease in relation? I know that absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence, but the people who holler about the dangers of vaping have never been able to demonstrate (to me) what those dangers are.

        the people who holler about the dangers of vaping

        This is a mischaracterization of the conversations I’ve seen and been a part of. What people are trying to say is that no one should be assuming that because vaping seems safer that it is harmless.
