Vaping is unquestionably healthier. Not good but cancer sticks are pretty high on the list of unhealthy shit.
Had a wretched smoker's cough for years, took me an extra 10 minutes to cough it out and get out of bed. Stopped 2 weeks after going to vaping.
OTOH, 10 years later vaping became too much, now I do those nicotine pouches. Very happy with those.
I never smoked but that's consistent with whet my best friend has told me about when he switched to vaping from cigarettes, along with he doesn't get out of breath as easily anymore.
Is there enough data to support that claim? Not really disagreeing, i genuinely don't know. There was a time where your doctor would tell you to smoke camels, because these are the healty cigarettes.
The UK did a lot of research on it iirc, there's the first thing from google a study from 2022.

People make a big deal about the metals in the coil but I think people forget if you're smoking cigarettes tobacco has heavy metals too and many other things like sawdust and formaldehyde when vape juice is like 4 ingredients you can make yourself.
Full disclosure, I don't vape, but I did from like 2015 to 2020.
