People that say "vaping isn't good for you!" etc etc are people that are missing the point and people that have clearly never tried both.
Firstly, no one is saying it's good for you, just that it is better for you than smoking is.
Secondly, maybe listen to people like yourself who have extensive experience with both options, the different in you personally health is night and day.
The statements "vaping isn't good for you" and "vaping is a lot better than smoking" do not conflict with another; they can both be true.
Whether vaping is an improvement or not depends on what you were doing before. If you were smoking before and are substituting cigarettes for vaping, you hurt yourself a lot less and it's an improvement.
If you weren't smoking before (the case for most teens for example) and would start to vape, you'd be hurting yourself significantly more than before.
You should be advocating to never touch a vape (or cigarette) to non-smokers and to try vaping to get out of smoking addiction to smokers.
Fair point.
It's obvious that the best thing for your lungs is clean and fresh air and the best thing to do with nicotine is never try it.
But some people are always going to be attracted to that sort of thing and it's sensible to not fear monger the option which is clearly the healthier choice.
