Over the last year or two, several smokers I know have quit smoking and are vaping instead. There are Vape shops popping up all over the place. It's obviously blowing up.
I've been told that some of the local shops are making their own flavors etc...
My question is...How do you know that this stuff isn't as bad or worse for you than cigarettes? Are there any Federal regulations in place for the manufacture of this stuff?
Are we going to see news stories 10 years from now about all the people who developed a new cancer from vaping?
I'm all for it if it's actually a safer alternative but what if it's not?

Honestly I cannot tell you if it is better or worse for you. I will say this though.
Vaping for me was a stepping stone to quitting completely.
I vaped (zero nicotine) instead of smoking and then weened myself off of vaping over a 2 month period.
So in my mind it is better than smoking even if it caused damage in that period as i am completely off the smokes now.
