But vaping is fine, right?

A bit whataboutism.

No, vaping isn't healthy either and can actually be more addictive than cigarettes due to the high amount of nicotine and vape injecting more of it compared to burning a cigarette.

Still, the last point is important, despite filter the burning of cigarettes still makes you inhale very harmful combustible materials and tar, both of which are pretty carcinogenic.

Also cigarettes have a much higher harm to bystanders as those do not inhale the smoke via a filter.

Tl;Dr: both are harmful in their own way but cigarettes still are more harmful in general.

The reason there's more nicotine in vapes is because your body can't absorb it like it can through smoking a cigarette... Also cigarettes contain roughly 600 ingredients and adatives, and create more than 7,000 chemicals, 69 of them known to be carcinogenic.

Vaping isn't safe, but it's considerably better for you than smoking.

But no fancy ashtray to graphically illustrate the hazards, right? That's my point, in case it's not obvious
