Nah, stop equating vaping to smoking, it’s a bad-faith argument compared to something we know it’s extremely toxic for a fact.

Studies on vaping have been Inconsistent at best, popcorn lung was related to a flavoring that isn’t used at all now and was only limitedly used before.

So like I get the easy joke, but it is misinformation at this point

Edit: okay, guys stop assuming I’m talking about nicotine. I’m just talking about vaping (vaporizer) vs smoking (combustion). I’m also 31 years old and have never smoked or vaped nicotine myself, it’s not a personal habit of mine.

    Nicotine is nicotine, no matter what you want to believe.

    I mean, I was just talking about vaping itself. Also nicotine isn’t a known carcinogen, it’s just a highly addictive chemical.

    So yes, nicotine is still nicotine. But tabacco has a lot more in it than just that. So not sure what your point is?

    Edit: typo

    Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor and reduces blood flow to the skin, likely reducing the availability of nutrients to keep your skin healthy.

    Nicotine is nicotine.

    Sorry about your habit. It's a hard one to break (been there), but don't ignore known science to justify it in your head just because there isn't a full in depth study.

    Um, I have never consumed nicotine knowingly in my life, so there isn’t a personal bias. As I said before this, I never mentioned nicotine that was the other guy.
