Not nearly as much of a win as not inhaling any smoke or vapor at all though. If vaping is a path to quitting altogether then that can be a win. If it's just a different vice then no. It's probably never going to be 100% safe to inhale foreign substances into your lungs

- imgabe 7y agoI used to smoke a pack a day and quit about 14 years ago using the patch. Quitting is ultimately the only solution. "Keep smoking" just means eventually dying from a smoking related illness.
- EpicEng 7y agoThat's great for you, but we have plenty of evidence that the patch doesn't work for a lot of people. It's also expensive. It didn't work for me because I enjoy the act of smoking.
- taneq 7y agoSure, but that's like arguing that cars shouldn't have airbags because in rare circumstances airbags can cause deaths, and riding in a car will never be 100% safe.

Even if you don't quit, it's still almost certainly a health win to switch to vaping from cigarettes. If it's a path to quitting for you that's great. Even if someone is not going to quit them, switching is still good.
