MODERATORS
Any doctor will tell you that breathing anything other than air is harmful. Vaping is far and away less harmful than cigarettes, and when used for their intended purpose (smoking cessation), they are absolutely the "healthier" option.
my problem with this argument is always that it neglects the mental, social, and emotional effects of raising nicotine content
physically safer for your airways? sure, but definitely not mentally healthier
