    Is vaping only nicotine putting something other than air in your lungs? Yes? It’s causing you harm.

    Are you one of the people that also think smoking doesn’t kill because there are 90 year olds out there that smoked a pack a day for 20 years?

      Is breathing in any modern city putting stuff other than air in your lungs? Yes. Multiple studies have shown that nicotine on its own is no more dangerous than caffeine. Do you drink coffee or tea? If you don’t want to vape that’s fine, but it’s an enormous harm reduction tool for people who did or do smoke cigarettes, and people like you with no evidence just demonizing it for no reason just pushes people back to the tobacco companies. Smoking does kill, at enormously dangerous rates, so anything that helps people stop smoking is good, especially if it’s a substitution with minimal health risks of its own.
