What are Cigarettes and Vaporizers
We a saw this article bhf.org.uk
Electronic cigarettes, known as e-cigarettes or vaporizers, are
battery-powered devices that mimic the action of smoking, offering
nicotine (in most cases), but without the toxic effect of tobacco smoke.
it also stated:
“We know that e-cigarettes are probably not completely safe, but that’s
not the issue. The question is, are e-cigarettes safer than the
alternative? And, for almost all e-cigarette users the alternative is
smoking, and it's really important that they understand how much safer
e-cigarettes are, compared to smoking".
Maybe one way to look at it is a crutch to step down not a ladder to walk up to real Cigarette Smoking 😝

Is Vaping Really Safe
Is Vaping Really Safe
The real question is: can you safely take up recreational vaping, even if you don’t already smoke? The evidence for this is much less clear. Nicotine by itself doesn’t cause cancer, and vape juice doesn’t contain any of the 70 known carcinogens that are present in tobacco. But it does contain other chemicals, such as propylene glycol. When this is heated by the electric element in the e-cigarette, it can create formaldehyde, which is carcinogenic. The different flavour chemicals used in vape juice are all organic compounds, and these can also be altered by the heating element.

More people may be using them, but e-cigarettes are not harm-free. A study published in Environmental Science & Technology in July 2016 identified harmful emissions in the vapour, including possible carcinogens and irritants, though at a much lower level than in conventional cigarettes. The BHF would not advise non-smokers to start smoking e-cigarettes. In a 2018 report, Public Health England (PHE) estimates they are 95 per cent less harmful than regular cigarettes.
Dr Mike Knapton, Associate Medical Director at the BHF, said: “We would not advise non-smokers to take up e-cigarettes, but they can be a useful tool for harm reduction and to stop smoking.”
