Two words - popcorn lungs. May be worse than smoking regular cigarettes

Only dry herbs (weed) for me in a destop pothead model. None of those funny pen things, even the eliquid pot ones.. weird .. sorry funny pen heads.. i know i just dissed like the whole world lol

While it MAY be better than smoking, it also may not be. I have a few thoughts, covering varied perspectives.

1. I have watched conscientious smokers use vape pens to reduce their smoking and use them as part of a smoking cessation plan, and I have to applaud anyone who breaks an addiction like that, because I understand that cigarettes are a tough addiction to kick for some people--such as my COPD-ridden mother who drags around an oxygen hose 24/7 to be able to breathe--she would die within a day or two without supplemental oxygen--yet she still smokes.

2. My mother has COPD and tried switching to vaping to help quit smoking. The thing is, she was still inhaling things into her lungs via the vape pen. Between the flavors and the vapor, it built up in her lungs and lead to pneumonia. For someone with healthy lungs, you're probably exhaling most of that back out, but what part of it are you not exhaling, and what is it doing to your lungs?

3. As a non-smoker, I have noted that vapers are often less considerate than their smoking counterparts when it comes to blowing "smoke" toward others or even directly into the faces of people nearby because it somehow makes them look cool. "It's only vapor!" It is still offensive and rude. A friend introduced me to a name for vape pens when they are used by people like this: "douche flutes" Sometimes, I am hit by a plume of something that triggers an allergic reaction in me, and of course, I am the rude one when I ask the offending "douche flautist" to please stop or move somewhere else.

Currently vaping vanilla cupcake!?

It's still nicotine, and nicotine is a poison. From what I've read it has other adverse effects.

You may have quit the cigarette habit, but you are still intaking nicotine.

I vape. I smoked for over 40 years started in 6th grade, pack was a quarter. About 4 or 5 years ago I started vaping to help me quit and have not had a cigarette since. I probably don't need to vape since my nicotine levels are either 0 or the lowest level a juice can have, flavor is now what I go for. Vaping may have dangers but many studies show it is much dafer than smoking. I feel much better, no more wheezing or coughing. Even my doctor approves over smoking though he would prefer I did neither. Would not suggest anyone to just take up vaping.

I like to vape. I'm allergic to smoke so I don't smoke. But I do not vape products with nicotine in them. I usually vape CBD oils. It helps calm my nerves and helps keep me mellow.

After I quit smoking, I just don't feel like vaping. Eight years without a single cigarette.

I am always guarded about newer things. THere just hasnt been the time to accurately determine long term side effects

Drugs are drugs.

Never tried it, but might have to look into it in the future.

It's excellent. I prefer dabbing but it doesn't get me as high as vaping some decent weed. This Davinci IQ is an amazing little machine.

Only for weed

it's wayy better

Think it causes your kidneys to bleed.

No thanks. I'll just keep smoking.

No thank you. It's bad for your lungs.

One side of my family vapes.  They are constantly shrouded in a cloud of fragrant steam.  If i cannot roll it into a joint, I don't want to smoke it.

E-cigs helped me quit cigarettes but I only used them for a few months and then didn’t need them any longer. I’ve been smoke free for several years now and if I get in a rough spot or know I’ll be around smokers or clubbing I pack that e-cig as backup. I used the no-nicotine version.

The artificial fragrances in most vape products make me react just as badly as tobacco smoke. Weed smoke doesn't bother me.

Vape away so long as you aren’t obnoxious about it.

Haven''t tried it yet.

It is great for cannabis, no muss no fuss, no roaches, no stinky aroma, no tars and other gross things, just around 80% THC. I don't vape nicotine or other flavors unless I am on vacation and I need to satisfy my oral fixation, and then 3% nic.

This gives a pretty comprehensive overview ...

I'd rather just smoke. Never could get into ecigs or vapes because it just isn't the same
