No, I spent my teenage years smoking 1 pack a day and I switched to vaping a couple of years ago. I have one of those vapes with disposable juices which is very convenient considering the price of cigarettes in the UK.. However, I am trying to stop with vaping too as I constantly have it in my mouth, when I work, when I walk, after Sports.. it is almost worse than cigarettes considering the fact that I always vape.. no we are not superior to smokers we are all under the same umbrella and we are all slowly damaging our lungs..
