Oh wow it's as of e-cigs is just like cigarettes, but besides cancer and toxic chemicals, they also found a way to add more waste.

I gave up arguing with people like you a long time ago, but I still want you to know actively telling people they're just as bad as cigarettes will keep people on cigarettes, which are 4000x worse than vaping. Your misguided views are extremely harmful.

Nicotine alone is carcinogenic, despite what people like to believe.

[Citation needed]. Both of you.

There's been a study which found carcinogenic compounds in vapour... thing is they overdrove the thing so hard that it was burning the wick, noone would actually take a puff of that. It's the equivalent of setting a toaster to maximum and then saying that bread causes cancer.

There's little evidence of pure nicotine being carcinogenic afaik. Nicotine in tobacco is carcinogenic due to certain reactions with other chemicals in the tobacco plant

I mean, it is, but smoke and, weirdly, polonium are also very large contributors to cancer from tobacco use.
