It's also worth noting that the unpopularity of cigarettes preceded the rise of vaping by several years. So it felt like the problem was finally being solved for a while.
- refurb 7y agoThe biggest issue with cigarettes was the cancer risk. Vaping is much lower risk (if any) for cancer. So even if people just swap smoking for vaping, a HUGE problem was solved.

I don't think we really know what the true cancer risk is for vaping yet, let alone the risk for other cardiovascular diseases like COPD and popcorn lung. This product hasn't existed for very long, so long term studies just don't exist yet. That said, there is some research that suggest caution is at least still warranted: https://www.lung.org/stop-smoking/smoking-facts/impact-of-e-cigarettes-on-lung.html https://www.lung.org/stop-smoking/smoking-facts/impact-of-e-...
