Strongly second this - the data is just not out there yet on the long term effects of vaping (and keep in mind we use the term vaping broadly but there are hundreds of companies that produce devices of varied quality).
Of course, the harm reduction qualities make it interesting, but I heard a tobacco control researcher explain it like this (not exact quote) - Imagine that smoking tobacco is like jumping out of a building on the 100th story, most likely vaping is not as bad, but there's no consensus on whether you're jumping out of the 99th story or the 2nd
The best thing to do for your health (if that's what you're optimizing for) is to just quit and not replace with a new device. The CDC has a bunch of resources as do most Western Nations in the local languages. Below is a link to the tobacco cessation mobile app from the CDC

- JamesBarney 7y agoSo we do have a lot of research on how bad just nicotine is for you. And it's close to 5% as harmful. We also know how bad polyethylene glycol is for you, and it's not that bad(it's used in medical devices). So most of the unknown risk is concentrated around device and flavorings.
