I heard that Vaping is Bad for you?

I recently read things online talking about vapors and smoking and how it is bad for you. I don't know if it is bad for you or not but that I what I read. There have been articles that states there is antifreeze in the vapors but who really knows. Anyone have any input on this whether or not they think this is true or not?

 

The golden rule is don't believe all you read. There will be a lot of articles telling people how bad vaping is, but most of them won't have any factual points to make, it will be people's opinion.

Sadly, tobacco companies are starting to panic a bit and so you can probably expect more of these types of articles coming out. A multi-billion dollar industry aren't going to like the vaping, the new kid on the block so to speak, taking some of their profits.

 

You need to be careful about what you read, for a start, and make sure that everything you have comes from a reputable source. Also, there is still a huge gap with regards to research when it comes to vaping, and the fact of the matter is that nobody yet knows all that much about it from a scientific point of view at least. In addition, it is vital to remember that although there may be health implications of vaping, it is DEFINITELY better than smoking actual cigarettes, which is what you would be doing if you weren't vaping. So yes, not vaping is properly better than vaping, but if it's a choice between smoking and vaping then vaping has to win every single time, doesn't it.

 

I think that the anti-freeze theory is a debunked myth about vapes. All products in juices and flavours are FDA approved. And as far as I'm concerned, no studies yet have proven the link of e-cigarettes to any health condition. With the internet, we have the information at our hands but the question is, are these true information? Because in reality, there's tons of resources and articles online claiming that vapes are bad for us when they cannot even prove why so. Whereas, it's been proven that cigarette smoking can cause lung cancer, respiratory diseases and oral and respiratory tract cancers as well.

 

A lot also depends on just how far you want to take the 'it's bad for you' sentiment aswell. Drinking is bad for you, so is too much fatty foods, salt, red meat, riding a motorbike, driving a car...the list goes on and if we read and followed all the amount of things we read then we'd end up cocooned in our homes and not doing anything.

 

Vaping may be bad for you, but it is nowhere near as bad as inhaling all the carcinogens and tar in cigarettes!!

 

This really is the perfect response, it's not inherently a healthy habit but compared to cigarettes it is by default better.

 

Love this answer !!! Kudos.
Seems that people forget that vaping was never advertised as a healthy habit that people should take on.

Vaping came about as a Healthier alternative to smoking. That we should never forget.

 

Honestly, it just depends on where you get your juice. I know a couple local shops where I am that they are the only place you want to get your vape juice, because you know exactly what is in it. However, if I go to my local gas station and some vape juice
from there, I know that everything in cigarettes is also going to be in that juice. You just have to do your research and make sure you find shops that don't sell bad juice or anything in them that is harmful.

 

The first advice I was given was to buy local, and under no circumstances to use anything that came from China or India etc. Having done my research, I ended up opting for a Kik device which is (I believe) manufactured in the UK, as is their juices. I'm sure the same goes for American brands, but the main thing is to buy a quality product. Cheaper is seldom better.

 

Pretty much what you are saying. No one says vaping is healthy, but let's just compare it with the alternative and realize what is happening, it's an excellent alternative to tobacco and the tobacco industry knows it.

 

That's true. And all those companies feel that and try to jeopardize the vaping industry. By any means. Propaganda, of course, is among the leading ones.

 

Yup, everything nowadays seem to be bad for us. Ultimately, it's our decision at the end of the day, whether we're going to eat this, or we're going to do that or we're going to vape. It's up to our own discretion. Like what others have said, vaping is a healthier alternative compared to cigarettes. And so if you do decide to vape, you're doing something much better for your health. If you do decide to smoke, then it's up to you as well, as long as you know the consequences.

 

I think that's the main point that people have to remember, and we might get advice and be told that something is bad for us, but in the end we're all adults, we're all capable of making our own decisions so it's up to us to decide what we do or don't do.

 

From my research online I have found that there are some negative health effects of vaping but they can be overcome.
All the reports of harmful effects comes from shaddy, fraudulent or cheap producers of equipment or juices.
If you get a high quality device, and juice from a reputable source (even better DIY!) there is almost nothing bad about vaping!

 

With everything in life, there's people that want to spoil people's fun when doing anything, and that's what they're trying to do when it comes to vaping.

We all know there are some risks, but there's some risks with practically everything in life, so what are we going to do, nothing? and have no fun at all 'just in case' something might happen?

 

That's a good point. I don't usually buy anything cheap and unknown, be it electronics, clothes, food, ect.

 

You can take anything you want and write an article about how its bad for you. Of course when you are inhaling anything buy clean air it is not going to be good for you, but when you ask me it just comes down to the better option. I am used to treating my body like garbage, so when it comes to vaping it is a major upgrade and that is all that matters to me. I am concerned, but not even close to what I am concerned about otherwise.

 

There haven't been any conclusive data to prove it, but I'm not going to be naive to the point that I would say that it doesn't. It might not be good for you but cigarettes are probably far worse for you then vaping.
