      I suppose from a harm reduction standpoint the big question is: has vaping dropped chronic disease that has been traditionally linked to tobacco products or is it equally or more dangerous than traditional tobacco products? If it’s reducing mortality and disease, then that’s a good thing overall even it still poses some risk to long term health. Obviously you don’t want to use traditional tobacco products or vape products if you want a healthy cardiovascular system.

        Far safer, probably even with garbage quality import vapes. You can see when someone at your gym swaps from smoking to vaping, their performance skyrockets. Clear as day their lungs are working better. Shouldn’t be a huge surprise given there is no tar when vaping

          Far safer, agreed. After 20-years of smoking, I quit coughing within 3-weeks.

          OTOH, I just quit vaping (10-years) and started the nicotine pouches. Game. Changed. I had no idea how bad vaping was for me. (That was bad for me personally. YMMV depending on several factors. I basically vaped like it was air.)

            I assume you mean patches, not pouches haha

            How long did it take to see improvement after you swapped to patches?

                Careful, those things cause awful gum recession and potential tooth loss if you use them regularly

                That’s better for your lungs, but far, FAR worse for mouth teeth and gums

                  can you link studies on this? i’ve been looking but can’t find-- and i’ve been using pouches for years and haven’t noticed those side effects

        It’s absolutely not as dangerous as smoking.

        Also, nicotine alone has heart positive effects.
