Even though e-cigarrettes and vaping have become extremely popular, there hasn't actually been a lot of scientific research done, the jury is still out on whether they are 'safer'. Vaporizer smoke does contain less carcinogens (cancer-causing compounds) but it still does cause human lung cells to die or stop replicating and may do damage to the immune system as it has been observed that lungs of people who vape can't fight off germs such as pneumonia so good. My opinion is that vaping is much less likely to cause you any long-term negative effects than smoking, but its more likely to cause short-term negative effects, inflammation and certain kinds of lung damage.

That has changed obviously over the years, and this study just agrees with the conclusion. The only area in where research is lacking right now are the long term effects. This is normal due to vaping and e-cigarettes being entirely new. The industry definitely has a lot of potential. There are two groups of people that would benefit from this. People who want to quit but find it hard, and people who do not want to quit and want a healthier method.

This is what I was going to say. Most meats are filled with chemicals and nasty hormones both that the cow ingests whilst it's alove and then what is injected into the meat after it is prepared. Many of these things have links to causing cancer.

Exactly. Barbecue was just my first example as the meat gets filled with smoke, yet nobody complains about that one. Besides, if I smoke in a coffee shop when I'm sitting outside, then there is minimum impact.
