    More research needs to be done, but all the evidence points to vaping being vastly safer than smoking. Of course, your lungs are meant to inhale air and nothing else, so neither is still the best option

      Talk for yourself, but I, as a homo sapiens, evolved from a fish. So my Lungs are actually made to breathe water.

          I’ll let you know that us weather-controlling atlanteans are actually direct descendants of the greek and as such worship Zeus and the greek pantheon.

          Anyways, I have to go now, time to sacrifice a bull to Zeus. Ask him to accelerate climate change. Atlantian colonialism, turning the whole world into one huge sunken city, you know how it is.

      seems like lack of regulation resulted in a number of high profile serious cases of harm

      obviously smoking is bad but saying vaping is vastly safer assumes best case on one side and worse case on the other

        If you don’t want to vape that’s fine but acting like it is worse than smoking is crazy. Just don’t buy sketchy refills or any thc vapes in non legal states. Or you could make your own pretty cheaply.

          except a number of those were not from sketchy sources so much as the supply chain is itself sketch

          that includes the do it yourself juice

          so unless you are doing something dry and even then tests on a number of weed products show really bad chemicals in a number of legit dispense products

          so yea unless you are growing the shit yourself the industry is kinda the wild west still atm

          but yea sig makers have been caught a number of times doing this shit too, they are just more regulated atm

            I did vape and made my own juice , before it was cool hehe . Glycerin and propylene glycol base food grade stuff is 99,9%. Add a bit of nicotin and some (quality)flavour if wanted. Just using some good stuff.

            It helped me off the cigarettes , and they have like 3000 harmful substances, no way vaping is that bad for you.

            Nowadays I just have a cigarillo now and again. But now I got the craving for a joint, no tobacco :)
