I switched to a vape about two years ago after realizing my smoking habit was doing my lungs in (I'm otherwise a relatively healthy person and noticed during my runs/walks that my breathing was too badly affected).

Vaping seems completely harmless in comparison, it feels warm, smooth, super flavourful,... bit like standing over a freshly made cup of tea and breathing in. I own an Arizer Solo II, it's a bit bulky and ugly but it works very well.

That being said I also dropped vaping since a year or so, good herb is hard to find over here so I order thc gummies from the nearest island and it works wonders for me.
