Hey, so I frequently vape that is, a lot. Many people tell me that its bad and compare it to smoking cigarettes. Whats your opinion of it? Has vaping just got a taboo because of cigarettes? Weed has it too, but funnily enough people seem to except it more. Sorry if I put this in the wrong place, couldn't find a drugs subforum.
First of all, one is technically a chemical liquid, the other is a plant. Tobacco is worse than vaping only because we know it has over 4,700 toxins. But vaping is really new and we can't be really sure about its effects.
What I can tell you though, is that vaping is not a solution to stop smoking. It's an alternative, and a bad one, because technically you can consume a lot more nicotine through a vaporizer and get even more hooked. Also, when I vape, the e-liquid accumulates in my throat and I always have to cough or clear my throat, spitting and etc. KInda nasty tbh.
ALSO, handling is so messy. I think it's just not as messy as a hookah, but cleaning you vape and all that jazz, and then it starts leaking... nightmare.
Completely agree, handling the shit is so fucking annoying. But yeah, I'm not so much concerned by being hooked because cigarettes are just disgusting. Also nicotine makes me focus a little more, think of it like caffeine.
