Smoking vs. Vaping isn’t Debatable 😤

Doctor Ricky Brown puts the debate to rest because smoking vs. smoking isn’t debatable as they both suck and lead to lung problems.

Yes. Vape is harm reduction. I agree they're not harmless but obviously less dangerous than smoking.

[@Zzz2x]

not obvious they don’t have enough studies yet of long term effects

[@CrustaceousB]

@@Zzz2x I have burn scars on 70% of my body. This matters because I am very susceptible to getting sick. When I smoked cigs I was getting sick every other week and coughing up nasty stuff constantly. When I switched to vape in 2012, it changed my life. No more getting sick all the time and no more coughing fits. I also don't want to vape forever. I want to quit nicotine all together. And I only decided this 2 months ago. So I've been lowering the level of nic in my juice the last few weeks and im well on my way to quitting. You can't do that with cigs. The level of nicotine you get from a cig is just so much more than any normal vaper uses these days. So yeah, it's harm prevention.

Exactly. NOBODY claimed that vaping was harmless, just that it reduced the risks associated with smoking cigarettes. That's the point. OBVIOUSLY don't start vaping if you're a non smoker. But for smokers it is a better alternative.

The scariest part is, I’m a smoker, I’ll watch this and agree with all of it, yet when it comes to quitting, it’s almost as if my brain couldn’t comprehend it. One of the worst addictions possible, alongside alcohol and yes I’m saying they’re both worse than hard drugs

I started vaping at 40 years old and quit at 42. Cause I knew I wanted my lungs Heathly so I check with the doctor. And they said I was still good and my lungs were recovering. And turning Heathly again!

As someone who smoked cigarettes for 14y and switched to vaping 3 weeks ago I can tell you it’s way healthier than cigarettes. I will quit vaping eventually too, it’s just a way for me to quit smoking. I would never recommend vapes to a non smoker, but if you are already addicted to nicotine you should most definitely try vaping!

I should 10000% percent try vaping so I can wake up every night in a panicked sweat because I haven’t had my vape for 3 hours!! I also like fancying cutting my life expectancy in half to around 40! A very healthy experience and I will look forward to it when I get my degree from KFC 🎉🎉

@Omar-mv2yy they don't produce tar in the lungs because you don't inhale a cigar. 2nd, premium, hand-rolled cigars do not contain any chemicals, it's just tobacco. Also, nicotine levels in cigars are quite low.

[@theonetruesarauniya]

It's always hilarious to me when people who vape argue that it's not addictive nor is it as harmful as nicotine, etc. It's not something that humans need in their lungs period. It's not supposed to be in the lungs at all or it would be something we all did and it still causes harm. One may be "better" than the other but that doesn't mean that it is actually good for one's lungs. Nothing will change my mind nor have me arguing with real deal medical professionals with years of knowledge, research and actual healthcare under their belts. Just say you are fine with the issues and go. Just inhale your lowercase l and move through.

[@silverpairaducks]

Nicotine is a mild stimulant.

[@juanchotpee2]

Judging by that first sentence you aren't cut out to argue with medical professionals kek

[@theonetruesarauniya]

@@juanchotpee2 Yup.

[@CrustaceousB]

Literally nobody says vaping isn't addictive. They say it's less harmful than smoking. And there is nicotine in the vape juice. So I dunno if you were just so angry when typing this out you just made several errors, or if you have no clue what you're talking about. Regardless, science should be checked over and over. Never falling into stagnation because of stubborn dogmatism. Which you clearly embody. Get a grip. You unironically sound like a Bible thumper claiming you'll never trust any sourced other than your preferred version of religion. Why not just keep an open mind and do more research as time goes on? After all, it hasn't been around long enough to have long term studies on the effects.

[@exohexoh3948]

Literally no one is claiming it is "good for one's lungs". The real lower case l belongs to someone who follows a doctor from a country that has next to no studies on vaping vs smoking though. Read some of the UK's NHS studies... who were incidentally the ones that blew the whistle on big tobacco while every other 1st world country knew the effects of smoking but kept their mouths shut and their wallets fat. Sit down.

[@vanessafowler9652]

My Father passed away from Stage 4 Lung Cancer. He smoked all of his life and he started a very young age. Smoking anything definitely causes Cancer! So in my opinion it's best to just not smoke at all. My Mother had COPD, Asthma, Emphazma, and a heart condition. I watched my Father in so much pain and I couldn't do nothing to help him. I never felt so helpless in my life. I was his Caregiver and it was so hard watching him die. He couldn't swallow or talk very much.

[@missjo2036]

Both are not good for you. Basically vaping is a way for people to justify their nicotine addiction. Yes i can say it because i to am a ex smoker and nicotine addict. I have friends who vape and they have just a hard enough time breathing like a traditional smoker. It's just the tobacco industry's way of getting you hooked and stay hooked. It's all a lie.

[@Omar-mv2yy]

That’s because your friends maybe never smoke traditional secondhand tobacco cigarettes vaping is for people who don’t want to smoke cigarettes and find a healthier alternative

[@rebeccaryancross]

I think it’s great for smokers who are trying to quit. And that’s it. But I guess if you’re going to start smoking vaping is it. lol. I guess. But for real I think it should only be for ones trying to quit

People argue "oh its better than smoking" about vaping but you shouldnt do either. They both give you health conditions that could be fatal and just shouldnt be done

[@UralicFreak]

No smoking isn’t worse, smoking cigarettes are, but smoking cigars???? It’s not as bad as cigarettes. You see smoking is used for pipes, cigarettes and, cigars so you can’t just saying smoking is worse than vaping that’s too broad it isn’t specific enough.

[@CrustaceousB]

Been vaping over a decade and I absolutely hate the way vaping was marketed to kids. The cloud chasing scene really made us look like total idiots. Also I HATE the vapes you find in gas stations because they use nic salts not freebase nic. The issue with this is that nic salts have 0 throat hit and the nicotine rush is minimal. Why is this bad? Because in my opinion, vaping should be a way to quit smoking, and hopefully quit nicotine all together. Which alot of people do. This is why freebase juice has throat hit and head rush from the nicotine. In order to recreate the feeling of a cigarette. So think creatively here... Why would they make a type of juice which doesn't appeal to cigarette smokers?... To sell to NON cigarette smokers. They literally make this shit to get teenagers hooked right under our noses. So please don't think all us vapers are just dummies who won't acknowledge the potential issues with vaping. We know it's not fantastic to do. But the short term effects are infinitely less dangerous than smoking. I have burn scars on 70% of my body form a gasoline fire. My skin is a sponge and I get sick easily. When I smoked cigs I was getting sick every other week and hacking up disgusting shit every day. Vaping stopped me from getting sick constantly and now I have no more coughing fits. I'm also a vocalist so I care quite a bit about my lungs and throat.

[@yourliteralmotherinlaw5163]

@@CrustaceousB While I agree that it can help people stop smoking and that not all vapes are that bad, i still think many people (including young teens) get easily addicted to nicotine way to fast, and many of them also aren't educated about the side effects of doing it long term and what it can lead to. I Think it is an OK alterative if your looking to stop smoking i just really think its not a good thing to be marketed to kids and such (as you said)
