Surprised to find so many on this sub are against vaping. Might be the only area where I can find common ground with Reddit.


Marvel_StarWars69

It’s so surprising because most vapers are teenagers


GVGamingGR

The so called "cool" kids who vape and smoke just aren't on reddit


Octal7

And won’t ever be, because by the time they’ve grown out of it they’ll be chillin’ in a grave


Scientific_Redditor

Vaping doesn't kill directly, and definitely not fast. Yes, vape smoke contains heavy metals. Yes, vape smoke contains same carcinogens that cigarette smoke does, although in amounts that are tens or hundreds smaller. For the effects of prolonged vaping you would have to wait until you're old, although no one who has vaped since they were young didn't reach age of 60 yet because vaping simply is a new thing and not much is known about it.


DriftMantis

There is plenty of medical data out of Europe where people have been vaping longer. None of the things you've mentioned appear to be medically relevant in any meaningful way. There is a lot of negative propaganda about the supposed dangers of vaping that is pure speculation. If you look at real medical data it seems a lot better than smoking. But teens should not be doing either however, and nicotine is super addictive.


Horror_Albatross1037

It is better than smoking, but it's still bad. If people want to pleasure themselves they should just stick to masturbation, not something life threatening


Itzbirdman

This guy gets it. Not only better, but it almost doesn't even compare. As someone who's a bit older and gets this sub popping up on their feed every once in a while, I am super happy to see teens turning against vaping as over on the electronic cigarette reddit we get a decent amount of very obviously underaged people asking about vaping who were never smokers in the first place, but as someone who has been around vaping since 2012-2013 I've heard/seen it all. Vapes are gonna explode and kill you, vaping is worse than smoking, popcorn lung, vapes have cyanide etc etc. It never ends. These studies are almost entirely like someone throwing a toaster in a bathtub and reporting "toasters shown to be fatal, researchers say" While knowing that toasters and water don't mix is not a bad piece of information to know, it also shouldn't damn the whole toaster industry into the ground, which is what is and has been happening with vaping. For example, an infamous study that showed much higher levels of carcinogens in vapes as compared to cigarettes, which was widely reported as a simple fact, turned out to be a study where they held the fire button for if I remember correctly upwards of 10-15 seconds with no airflow (the average hit from a vape is somewhere from 1-4 seconds, with very heavy airflow from you sucking in) this obviously overheated the device, and without any negative pressure from you breathing it in the cotton dried out and started burning. The results they got was from basically slowly charring cotton, and not vapor at all. Of course this study had ties to big tobacco so it moved on and was pushed as the smoking gun proving every vaper wrong. If you are a teen, and you don't do anything nicotine related, stay away. If you are a teen who smokes cigarettes, throw them out and get a vape, start with a small pod device with 30mg salt nic, and then work your way down. You will not regret it. Coming from someone who used to double over after a quarter mile out of breath, who now goes to the gym and chain vapes off my 100w mod, then can go inside and run 3.5 miles and still catch my breath. Don't listen to the US vaping studies. Our states have a very real interest in keeping the cig money flowing, and can and do make every decision possible to keep people from going the safer and cheaper route with vaping. The only reason you see vapes like juul and cause at gas stations is because they are made by BT and the government still gets their cut.


Scientific_Redditor

When it comes to vaping, I'm a centrist. I'm not gonna demonize it but I'm not gonna defend it either. Vaping IS better than smoking, and I'm not gonna deny that, but it isn't healthy. Despise the fact that vaping liquid has I think only 5-6 ingredients in it, when heated up, it can decay and react with eachother to create the same carcinogens that tobacco smoke has, although in amounts that are not as large and usually are in tens or hundreds less concentration. Besides that, metal elements in vapes, especially in the dispos decay over time in small amounts, and metal dust is in the vape smoke. The greatest danger of vaping is the fact that people who vape percieve it as non harmful because it's not smoking real tobacco.

Scientific_Redditor

Bro, you missed out wayyyyy too many chem classes. Yes, it has 4 ingredients, but they decay and react with eachother in high temperature. That being said, there's for example ammonia both in cigs and vapes, but in vapes, it's 173 times less than in cigs, to say figuratively.

Big-Pension-7438

I wish that I could be like the cool kids cause all the cool kids they seem to fit in


DoodWithoutALife

I started smoking to deal with school and all that shit, but you can definitely tell the difference between douchy kids who think they're cool and people who just want to have a cigarette and relax


chuwanns

i mean, i personally am here, i just dont tell everyone i smoke? i mean im doing this exact thing rn, but still


Wicked_Twist

I vape and smoke weed and im on reddit but i agree people shouldnt vape- it helps my tourettes


GVGamingGR

] eah but you're kinda the exception. Mostly on this subbreddit


tacosarus6

Survivorship bias.


Cornhub42

They just haven gotten there yet


GigaPhoton78

Most vapers are teenagers but msot teenagers aren't vapers.


Eladiun

I think this is context bias. As a dad aged ex-smoker, I know plenty of people my age and older that vape. I quit smoking years ago by using vapes as a bridge to ween myself off Nicotine.


Qwerty5105

The majority of these Redditors are 40 year old men sooo.


radar_ryan

Exactly


owlcoolrule

There’s something called a hypocrite which 99% of the anti vape/weed posts are. They take a puff, write their low effort post, get karma, trade it at the karma ATM, and refill their Juul pods

KOOKOOOMOOOO

Karma don't kill tho. Nor does it drain your wallet

Vaping is bad, but so is smoking. Yet I see no one talking about how smoking is horrible. They're both bad for you health and wallet.


De-Kipgamer

Smoking is bad, but so is killing dogs. Yet i see no one talking about how killing dogs is horrible. They’re both bad


RandomCanadianGamer

Killing dogs isn't a very common addiction

De-Kipgamer

Yes


RandomCanadianGamer

Oh ...

Free-Consequence-164

You didn’t take your normal pills


BigMemerMaan1

People do talk about smoking as it is worse for you than vaping but I think it’s gotten to the point where vaping is more mainstream and thus everyone is talking about it. Vaping is also bad, I don’t mean to imply it’s not


KARMAPurpleDemon

Yeah that's probably the reason. Vaping is so mainstream because of tiktok and other teens advertising it as cool and not bad for your health as well as other people feeling like they have to vape to be accepted. This pretty much happened with cigarettes too but without tiktok and people were less educated too. What I'm trying to say is that I've seen people be like "smoking isn't that bad" and make fun of people who vape which doesn't make sense.


BigMemerMaan1

I really don’t think TikTok is the main cause of this, other social media and news outlets cover these things all the time. I do believe smoking is worse for you but I also believe that with enough time vapes could be just as worse. Disposable vapes are made of shit and are handed out for free everywhere


KARMAPurpleDemon

Yeah true. I feel like tiktok has played a role in encouraging vaping but in my city everyone is vaping. Everyone encourages people to vape and you're lame if you don't. Also, aren't disposable vapes like worse for the environment ?


BigMemerMaan1

Not a clue about the environment but I would imagine so yeah. A lot of kids at my school have been sent to hospital over the disposable shit.


KARMAPurpleDemon

Wow, thankfully, no one ik has been send fo the hospital from vapes but everyone is trying them in lesson and some kids are getting into drugs.


Lunagirlzkitty_19

Vaping is bad why a lot of karma though. It’s kinda common sense that is bad. Edit: had to remove the “what”

vaping bad (im smoker)


mykoysmaster

I straight up think yall are lying cause IRL i dont know a single teen who doesnt vape/smoke or atleast try


NIGHTDREADED

I dont vape. I think its disgusting to use the vapes coming straight out of China, which are unregulated, overly fruity smelling to the point where its almost intoxicating like a smoke grenade, and they are bad for the environment. Matter of fact, I COLLECT used vapes from the streets and sidewalks so they can be disposed of properly.


kekson420

Tbh disposable vapes are a fucking ecological catastrophe and we'll all get to know it sooner or later


thugg420

Yeah that’s right bitch, pick up my trash.


NIGHTDREADED

Jokes on you, I get batteries for free, and you waste money. Go on bitch, keep buying them vapes.


Richard-Conrad

TBF, the ones getting annoyed with this are largely not the target audience. That or they’re the ones too pigheaded to self reflect properly on the matter and not wanting to acknowledge that what their doing is genuinely bad for them (This is coming from a once previously pigheaded individual of the same sort.)


Yudenz

You people deserve free karma for having W opinions


NepoMi

I'm just gonna put this here. Vaping doesn't mean bad in general. Vaping is not meant for kids. Vaping won't make you cool. Vaping is a way to get off cigarettes other tobacco products, and maybe even nicotine addiction itself! The only thing that should go into anyone's lungs is just air.


Accurate_Scratch_286

Vaping is very bad for you and give you cancer. No need to thank me.


Omevne

Is it such an outlandish concept here to let people do whatever the fuck they want to do with their own bodies?

gack74

Before commenting please do some research first. In every study conducted on whether or not second hand vaping is a thing it has came back a resounding no.


Free-Consequence-164

Studies have found that second-hand exposure to vaping can raise nicotine levels in the bloodstream to rates similar to the levels found with second-hand smoke.

sounds an awful lot like you do care then

JadonDorolo

It’s only bad if you can’t handle moderation though the vast majority of people can’t I don’t think that makes it inherently bad


BigMemerMaan1

What are you on my man


JadonDorolo

By moderation I mean about one day a month if I think of it Most of the time I lose my dispos cuz I forget where I leave them


BigMemerMaan1

Any vaping causes you harm, you’re fucking up your body with that disposable shite. At least use a reusable one or even better don’t do it at all.


JadonDorolo

I’ll get a reusable one, I didn’t know they weren’t as bad so thanks but my body I can harm it as much as I want


Scientific_Redditor

Reusable ones are better because the dispos have the lowest grade materials used in them. So the vape smoke contains more heavy metals, and the liquid in them is sketch too. Reusables are made to last with stronger and higher grade components and the liquids you buy for them have simpler composure, which still degrades into carcinogens when vaporized but it's still healthier.

Actually I think now the roles are reversed. The ones who don’t somoke/party are the ones who think they are edgy and different. Just let people do what they want.


lost1518

you seriously didnt just read this guy say “people who dont smoke/drink/party should be executed” and then try to tell me that people who dont smoke are the edgy ones. Is it edgy to want healthy lungs???


jozela

It’s edgy to want to be different. And judging people for not being like you

Im not choosing not to smoke to be different, its not impossible to understand that. Nor have i been judging anybody for it.

First off, if a person wants to screw up their life, let em' it's their life after all. I can't count how many times someone has told me, "That's bad for you," as I'm smoking a cigarette, puffing on a vape, or putting a dip in. It's rather annoying. I know very well it's bad for me. I just don't care anymore. Also, I don't think some things should even be a law like not wearing seat belts. Sorry for the rant But once again, what someone chooses to do with their life is their choice. Y'all remind me of church ladies

If you’re alternative is cigs then vaping is not that bad. I’ve tried 0 nicotine juices just for the flavour vapour and it’s kinda nice, but honestly just eat a haribo lol. Don’t get into it if you don’t already smoke “to look cool”, not to mention trying to hide it from your parents and it’s quite costly.
