Ancidotal, but the only time I hear people complain about smoking is when they are upset about second hand smoke - I don't see people complaining about vaping nearly as much (and even then it's usually just "they look stupid", not "they are being stupid for vaping"), even though there are some similar health risks (not as many, but inhailing steam will never be good for you, espically if it contains nicotine).
Second hand smoke is espically evil because it's very common for young children to be inhailing it while their parents are smoking.

- chipperyman573 8y agoLike everything else in life, moderation is key. Hot air in a sauna every once in a while is not going to be a problem (assuming you're otherwise healthy). Concentrated hot steam multiple times a day for months at a time could cause health problems.
- function_seven 8y ago"Vaping" is somewhat a misnomer. The vapor is really tiny atomized droplets, and is not hot at all. Maybe warm, but far below anything that could cause heat damage to tissues. Yes, there is a tiny amount of actual vaporized (as in, a gas) liquid, the stuff that Leidenfrosts the rest of it off the hot coil. That all being said, your main point still stands. We don't know what the long term effects are of inhaling these droplets of propylene glycol, glycerol, nicotine, and flavor compounds.
