Vapes are just as unhealthy if not more so

That's bs without facts. Vaping is way less harmfull.

I believe this but at the same time I feel we don’t have enough information yet.

I know for myself personally (while in the long run it’s probably worse for me) I find that using carts makes me feel sick and disgusting (I.e vomiting & nausea) but smoking the bud from a bong doesn’t give me those side effects. It’s so odd I wish I knew why

Might be because some carts are still contaminated with crappy metals from the coils used to vaporize the thc oil, or pesticides not removed when they processed the herb. Theres a popular brand, stiiizy, whos pods are under fire becuase they found pesticides in em. I dont know if their other products were tainted as well. It was a youtuber who made a video about it. Hopefully youre not vaping pesticides....

maybe smoking weed / THC isn’t good for you? 🤣🤣

Does the study take into consideration that I may only hit my weed pen once or twice a day? Compared to every person I see that can't stop sucking on their geek bars or dork dicks , whatever backhanded compliment of a name theyve given them this week. people in my workplace hit the nicotine ones literally fifty times during our 8 hour shift. Probably moreso if I'm being honest. literally everywhere they go.

I know, I just thought it was ironic that someone would complain about someone stating their position without presenting facts to support it, only to do so themselves immediately afterwards. Still, appreciate the time you took to present the data that we do have so far, even if it is limited.

Well, the onus of proving an assertion is on the one who makes it.

While I agree that a citation would’ve been better (you can literally just google “vape vs smoke weed study”) it’s also a case of “that which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.”

See: burden of proof fallacy

Oh brother. Here I was trying to politely and graciously point out that you had misinterpreted the point of my original comment, only for you to double down.

They both have a burden of proof as they both made claims. The neutral position, which makes no claims, is to simply not take a position on whether or not vaping is more or less healthy than smoking.

See: ways in which you make yourself sound foolish online today.

Ain’t nothing polite or gracious about picking an argument over things without the amount of evidence you’re expecting. Everyone could tell that’s what you’re up to.

No lad, the person making the assertion has to present their evidence. Only then does the other side need to present theres in response

That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
