this isn't what you are looking for, but uh
"inhaling literally anything is better than smoking cigarettes"
-doctors, probably
basically there's no combustion in vaping (unless you go for some of the really high temperature setups) so you are really just inhaling whatever the fluid is (polyethylene glycol usually?), no smoke or funny byproducts. While there aren't 40 year studies of inhaling that shit (since vaping hasn't been around that long), it's been used forever as like stage fog and shit with no evidence of negative implications on people exposed to it. obviously don't buy juice with crazy shit in it, but that probably wasn't hard to figure out in the first place.

Anyone here got any real info on vaping, specifically the health implications therein?
Couple friends of mine are smokers and are trying vape for nicotine instead, but apparently finding reliable information on what to look out for or what the implications are is difficult.
Comprehensive recent review: Malas et al., Nicotine & Tobacco Research, October 2016 - Evidence is inconclusive due to the low quality of the studies
- Most studies show a positive effect of e-cigarettes on smoking cessation
- Randomized trials needed
U.K. Royal College of Physicians 2016:
“the hazard to health arising from long-term vapour inhalation from the e-cigarettes available today is unlikely to exceed 5% of the harm from smoking tobacco.”
Public Health England 2015:
There has been an overall shift towards the inaccurate perception of EC being as harmful as cigarettes over the last year in contrast to the current expert estimate that using EC is around 95% safer than smoking

Additionally they say lots of honest research work needed.

My friend works in a Smoke shop and he changes out the "coils" in vapes. He showed me what a new coil looks like vs what a used coil looks like. Its extremely alarming to see how much it degrades in a short amount of time. Apparently the coil corrodes and you inhale it as you go? Thats just speculation from my friend's part.
My opinion is that vaping hasnt been around long enough for us to concretely determine if there are any long-term, harmful effects.
But imho, its way better than smoking straight-up cigarettes
|
Yeah its not hard to assume its better than cigarettes, but having a backed up reference for how much better it is is nice.
Obviously with any new tech will come new risks, but its good to know it's for sure less risky overall than cigarettes.

i mean putting synthetic polyethers in your lungs probably aint the greatest idea but it should help them get off the real shit. Some of my friends vape and they look like douchebags blowing their mist all over the place. Tell them to be careful with the vape residue thats left everywhere.
|
yeah the one thing holding me back from switching to vape full time is that vapers look like douchbags
|

I believe you can choose to play the expansion in the Options.
Actually I don't really know, because they made SC2 fully free-to-play for multiplayer stuff.
