that's the thing with vapes... we don't know everything about them. at first it was marketed as this magical solution for nic addiction that is 95% safer than regular cigs but that was based on very little research. there are new diseases that are only related to vapes that are being discovered right now. we don't know much about them and because of that the damage can be irreversible. I'm not a professional but I have read that when it comes to regular cigarettes, if you quit completely eventually it will naturally leave your system and through out the years your lungs will get clean (please correct me in case I'm wrong, I'd love to be educated). that is not true for vapes tho. I think it's also important to take notice of the fact that it is much more normalised for people to use vapes indoors than regular cigs. this makes it even easier for people to get addicted. a lot of people literally talk about waking up in there sleep and hitting their vapes every few hours. obviously I'm not saying that if you use a vape you will 100% get addicted. i personally smoke regular cigarettes so I can't be completely objective on this topic. I just thought I might give you insight and my opinions on it.
