If you vaped the same amount as a cigarette then yes. Unfortunately vapes get you to vape way more. On top of that Social norms around cigarettes create barriers for smoking that don’t exist for vaping. Somehow smoking a cigarette indoors is extremely frowned upon but you could be sitting on a couch vaping all day and no one will bat an eye. The fact that you have to physically go outside to smoke is a sufficient enough barrier to reduce consumption.
- extraduder_ire 1y agoAt least where I am, vaping indoors is exactly as illegal as smoking indoors. Though, amending the law to include vaping took years.

- pseudocomposer 1y agoI’m pretty sure it’s not illegal to vape on your couch, and again, there’s also not really a social stigma about it, nor a good way to detect it as compared to cigarettes.
- andrewla 1y agoI don't think this is even remotely true. It is literally an order of magnitude question. Don't vape! But your risk of lung cancer / emphysema is close to nil with vapes. Other risks related to nicotine exposure are of course present, as are the risk of tainted vapes or bad ingredients, but they're really not in the same ballpark.
