    At its most basic it’s water vapour. You know the one thing you’re not supposed to get in your lungs… water. And you can’t exactly trust what certain research shows, it’s too early in the lifespan of vaping to truly know it’s ramifications. Cigarettes used to have research having then saying they were good for you.

    At the end of the day though, what’s the fucking point of vaping other than to be another addictive substance for those on the bottom to be beholden to, like an addict tax keeping their take home income as low as possible. It’s just not something the world needs, so why defend it? Have you got the addict equivalent of buyers bias or something?

      Its not water vapor, nor is it dangerous to inhale water vapor. Vaping is not safe, but you don’t make a very good argument as to why. The person you’re responding too is also partially correct although they are wrong that vaping is completely harmless. People are often led to believe its more harmful that it truly is because health problems relating to black market marijuana cartridges were falsely attributed to normal vapes.

      It’s not water vapor. It’s mainly propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, plus flavorings and (optionally) nicotine.

        I don’t care if people defend vaping, they’re the ones damaging their bodies, not me.

        I do think it needs to be more regulated, in terms of where you can and can’t vape. Just like I don’t want to breath in second hand smoke, I don’t want to breath in your vape

      Neverminding that it’s not just water vapor, fog and humidity are also water vapor, and yet we breathe them every day. The substance itself isn’t really the issue. Now, it being hot water vapor, at a higher concentration, and carrying more things than just water vapor, you have some points to stand on.

      Harm reduction is also a very real thing. Sure , vaping is another thing for people to be addicted to. People are going to be addicted, almost everyone to something. I’d rather myself or anyone right now be addicted to vapes than cigs, because it’s LESS harmful, at least according to the current consensus. Of COURSE I’d people just not be addicted but that’s a looooong way off. Stepping stones are good things.

          This is a reasonable take. No one wants to force them on you or anyone else. If someone’s vaping and you’re breathing it in secondhand, sure they’re a problem, and you should probably politely ask them to be respectful, then get reasonably upset when they don’t. But let them have their thing otherwise.

      They are either working for a vape company or so hopelessly addicted they can’t admit negatives.
