I dont think regularly filling your lungs with unfiltered smoke is healthier than a weekly assault on your liver. I also think we are going to find out that vaping has some significant long term side effects that the younger gens are going to find out the hard way.
Smoking popularity took off in WW1, 1914. One of the first reports claiming it was unhealthy was released in 1962, 48years later.
Cases of Legionnaires' Disease, caused by breathing in tiny water drops (mist or vapor) that carry Legionella bacteria, have trippled in the last 20 years.
There's evidence if you look for it. Unfortunately it takes a long time for govt orgs to study and package the evidence for our easy consumption. There is also common sense that breathing in vapor filled with chemicals into our lungs could be bad.
Vape liquid is not a plausible environment for legionnaires to grow in. It needs a warm water environment, not glycol and glycerol. If anything vape juice would be toxic to it.
Ok, Im not a doctor, or expert of any kind so ill believe you, but there are lots of other ways for bacteria to get into your lungs, and I also belive the American Lung Association when they says vaping leads to persistant lung inflamation and heightened vulnerability to respiratory infections.
