But it’s illegal in my country

Well that’s idiotic unless cigarettes are also illegal.

It’s a “would somebody please think of the children”-thing because of vape flavours

What do you mean it’s less harmful? You’re pulling in smoke of course it will be detrimental for your lung. Saying it’s less harmful is just a blatant example of self-gaslighting

Would you say having one shot of liquor is less harmful than drinking a bottle? Or no, because you’re still drinking poison, so, clearly gaslighting yourself.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the whole process, and your opinion should be discarded as the ignorant rambling it is.

OK but the 95% are straight up pulled out of a place where the sun doesn’t shine

I’m not going to defend the number provided, but I will notw that many health authorities state that Vaping substantially less harmful than smoking. Smoking kills 1 in 2 people per that linked article. If vaping takes it down to less than 2 in 100 people, their percentage would have weight.

You don’t inhale smoke when vaping. You don’t even inhale vapor.
It’s atomized glycerin, propylene glycol, nicotine, and flavorings (unless you vape unflavored like me).

Someone needs to look up the term vaping, which comes from the term vapor, there’s a reason vaping isn’t called smoking. Vaping helped both me and my wife eventually quit smoking. It was a great stepping stone to getting clean

The funny thing is that it’s not even vapor. The liquid is atomized, not vaporized.

Technically both, the heating unit is an atomizer which then super heats the liquid mixing it with an air stream to become aerosol vapor
