Vaping isn't bad for you, nor is nicotine really, so what's the big deal?

There are various studies that definitely prove that they are harmful in short and medium term (less than traditional cigarettes) and already has lead to death. There hasn't been a lot of research into long term effects as the trend is still new. So potential harm from long term usage is unknown.
