      It’s different from cigarettes. You don’t get all the tar and stuff, but many people get even more nicotine, which is bad for your heart and addictive. I would say it’s likely better, but it’s different.

      (There’s also non-nicotine vape products which often aren’t regulated so can cause all kinds of issues.)

      This is incorrect and an easy to debunk claim… the tar in cigarettes is extremely harmful and vaping removes that element. However, vaping is still bad for you and it is still just as addictive.

        I found it much easier to quit vaping, compared to cigarettes. There are nicotine free liquids, so you can slowly wean off.
