Vaping is in no way quantitively safer than smoking tobacco. The amount of heavy metals you get in a cigarettes is just incredible. Plus you get more nicotine, which makes you more addicted.
Vaping is in every quantitative way safer than smoking tobacco, and this is agreed on by everyone with any knowledge about the subject, including people crusading against vaping.
> just incredible
Statistical reasoning here.
> Plus you get more nicotine
Nicotine wasn't giving people cancer or COPD.
What makes vaping dangerous is that the government refuses to regulate it, with the support of vaping companies and antismoking activists, the latter insisting that it would be absolutely impossible and absurd to inspect vape cartridges and set guidelines for (as a critical example) oils used to adulterate THC vapes which killed a few people and ruined a few lungs. The antismoking activists say the only way to regulate the safety of vape cartridges is to ban them, because otherwise they'd be allowing a dangerous thing.
A really murderous position to have, and a real government should ban all danger ideology. The kind of people whose grandparents thought it was a great idea to poison industrial alcohol during prohibition.
