They both dangerous they not good for you at all
You may appreciate the absence of noxious odors, and this is one of the advantages of vaping. The environment or your rooms will be smoke-free, and everything around you won’t have some nasty smell. #legalthccartstore
Cigarettes are flavoured now. I think they going for children. Vaping is way better. I rather say if vaping was in the 60s I'd be far heathier today. You cannot stop children smoking. If they want to they will. Excuses about children vaping is absolutely junk. If 21+ is an adult wants to vap let him
Many anti vapors are alcoholics.
I'd say based purely on personal experience that vaping is about 1/10th as harmful as smoking (provided you are using commercial products and not black market bootleg vapes and eliquids).
Cannabis cartridges are becoming more commonplace among cannabis users. This is because they are incredibly easy to use, are convenient and produce quality results. Learning about the benefits of using cartridges can help you decide if switching to a vape cartridge is right for you
me 12 and smoke 1 pack a week
Smoking Vapes is bad 4 you
Lungs are for breathing air .
Vaping is perfectly fine when used in moderation by an adult using legitimate brands.
Want to know what's dangerous? Alcohol.
100% of cases of non thc evail have vitamin e acetate in their lungs. Something not contained in legitimate vape juice.
Had a family member who died of lung cancer, and it is partly related to smoking. So smokers, please take care of your health and stop now.
this comment section is really encouraging for a smoker. thank you everyone.
encouraging comment for a smoker. thank you
I still believe it’s safer than alcohol
Vaping hurts my lungs worse than cigarettes
What about vaping CBD using a rechargeable vape pen? CBD does NOT contain THC, tobacco, or nicotine. It only has CBD in it. CBD is a natural treatment for anxiety & chronic pain.
Vaping is this generation’s cigarette same way all these people commenting how they started really young and are now older.
I start smoking 8
When i was in village now am 45.
Smoking helps asthma problem
I love vaping, but I don’t love nicotine. That said, vaping is eons ahead of smoking (literally). I would rather inhale a vapor similar to water vapor, over smoke. Have you ever sat by a campfire? Then you know how that shit burns your throat! I’m not saying YOU should vape, but I do. Especially because of all the options for tapering off nicotine. It’s a no-brainer! I can’t believe some idiots would rather smoke cigarettes than vape!! It’s just dumb
3:00 Called this the SAME DAY the first kid died. My dad was trying to get me to stop vaping which I understand and didn't think I was right.
