You can tell that vaping doesn't hurt your lungs by the way you exercise. If you smoke cigarettes, you will be way winded, but that doesn't happen with vaping.
I quit smoking with vaping and continue to do so a decade later because I enjoy it. Vape >juice is literally 3 ingredients.
Vegetable glycerin Propylene glycol Nicotine
You could get that down to 1 ingredient and just vape vegetable glycerin if you wanted.
It's the flavoring which can be bad. Some are more harmful than others, but even then, side effects like this are unheard of.
Idiots like this guy are ruining their lungs with shadey THC vapes containing chemicals like acetone.
my dad used to smoke 3 packs of cigarettes back in the day and stopped his addiction cold turkey at the age of 40. by age of 65 he developed lung cancer which had to remove parts of his left lung. today he is just another patient with COPD. he needs meds for that for rest of his life.
to think that they made smoking glamourous back in the era.
i'm glad that you quit your vice. its just not worth the pleasure i would say
My father is on the brink of death because of cigarettes. Late stage COPD. Literally in the hospital right now with fluid in his lungs and all he wants or cares about is having another cigarette.
Which is why misinformation on vapes pisses me off. He's beyond saving but it's a good way for people to quit who want to, and it's a good way for curious non-smokers to avoid picking up a cigarette in the first place.
Same - i use to smoke frequently during my twenties. Gave up a couple of times once for over ten years but decided i actually enjoy the whole process of just having a cigarette.
I also smoke two a day - never before midday, typically one in the late afternoon and one after dinner. It is more of engaging in a ritual of solitude for myself nowadays (outside the house and sitting quietly).
My Father also smoked three packs a day for over 65 years. He died in his sleep in his 80's - zero smoking related issues. I am more concerned with the over 600 additives cigarette manufacture are 'legally' able to add to the tobacco during manufacture.
I can find zero clinical study material for health effects of long term tobacco/ nicotine use of just natural tobacco (leaf) without the multiplicity of carcinogenic/ toxic cancer causing additives.
I am more concerned with the over 600 additives cigarette manufacture are 'legally' able to add to the tobacco during manufacture.
I used to haul cigarettes out of RJ Reynolds in Virginia. I go the lowdown on how cigarettes are made. Cigarettes are not even real tobacco products. They pulverize the tobacco and squeeze out the juice. At the plant, they use hige rollers of paper onto which they squirt the juice and all the additives. The paper rolls over heating flames to dry the juice and goes into shredders that finely chop the paper into little rectangles. That rectangle is what you see inside a cigarette; it's not tobacco leaf. The same paper is used as the outer tube of the cigarettes.
Cigarettes are not tobacco leaf at all, it's poisoned paper. It's was all a jewish trick and boy did it work. Jews got richer and whitey got deader.

I do not doubt that at all - in fact i believe you 100%. No wonder my cigarettes has tasted like shit for over 20-30 years.
I've been wanting to purchase some tobacco plant seeds online and grow for my own use for a while now - i should probably get to it before NZ even bans that (recall some commie Jacinda smoke free nonsense about a complete smoking ban on purchasing products in NZ in 2025).
AH yes, i've seen american spirits online - seems to be 'organic 100% real tobacco'. I've been tossing up between ordering online and also doing the seed thing.
It has a lot of uses. It's also in a lot of food, medicine and cosmetics. In vaping it can be avoided if you care about it. It's main purpose is to thin the juice and it adds a nice feeling to the "smoke".
Plus acetone/nail polish remover, heavy metals like lead, volatile organic compounds, and cancer-causing agents, Diethylene glycol (a toxic chemical used in antifreeze), absolutely hundreds of known carcinogens. I hate to say it, but you are better off dipping ciggys in paint thinners and huffing that whilst holding an asbestos cigarette holder.
It's the flavoring which can be bad.
Some contain nearly 2,000 chemicals, the vast majority of which are unidentified e-numbers, some of which have been identified as formaldehyde.
With cigarettes they just didn't know the harm it could cause, then it was covered up. With efags manufacturers are intentionally adding in as much toxic trash as possible for shits and giggles to laugh at you as you poison yourself for their profit.
That is bullshit. Acetone being in vapes stems from black market THC vapes. Some flavors used in vape juice can have acetoin, which is not acetone.
heavy metals like lead, volatile organic compounds, and cancer-causing agents,
Vape juice is consists of the 3 ingredients I listed plus flavoring. What's in the flavoring is questionable. From my experience any health effects from flavors are negligible, especially when compared to cigarettes. It's not a healthy activity. But it's not nearly as bad as cigarettes are. Not in the same ball park.
Diethylene glycol (a toxic chemical used in antifreeze)
Again, you seem confused. Diethylene glycol is not used in vapes and would be unusual. Propylene glycol is common in vape juice however.
Some contain nearly 2,000 chemicals, the vast majority of which are unidentified e-numbers, some of which have been identified as formaldehyde.
I make my own stuff and a lot of the times the 3 ingredients is all I am vaping. I use flavor sparingly. That's the only area you can make wild claims about. Flavors containing diacetyl and aetylpropionyl should be avoided. Most manufacturers have stopped using them. Don't buy vape juice from china.
I haven't done it in years, but when I made vape juice it used 3 things. Vegetable glycerin Propylene glycol And food flavorings from LorAnn Oils. The Cherry one for example lists these ingredients: alcohol, propylene glycol, artificial flavor, water, red 40, blue 1. (looking back, vaping something with Red 40 in it probably wasn't the best idea)
I didn't put nicotine in mine, because I vaped like smoking a tobacco pipe, just drawing the smoke into my mouth for the flavor, then blowing it out. The worst things in the juice were likely the food colorings, and then only if you were unlucky to be allergic to them.
That said, it's pretty stupid to inhale anything into your lungs besides air. You're just asking for trouble if you do it.
I think you'd really have to investigate what exactly these people were vaping. "βIβve only been able to come across a couple of reports of patients requiring lung transplant after vaping,β Keller said." Out of the millions of people who vape, they could only find less than a handful of cases like this. So what made these people different?
"A 17-year-old boy in Michigan who received a transplant in 2019 is believed to be the first case."
"Hurlburt said Allard had used e-cigarettes since he was 16 or 17, but recently started vaping more heavily."
You can't legally buy vapes if you're under 18, so where were they getting their shit? What was in their shit?
I just don't fucking trust government agencies and special interest lobbying groups.

Yea, i recall a detailed report on vape smoking issues in the Us, from what i can remeber a lot of the issues were caused by slack manufacturing practices allowing contaminants and dangerous levels and also some vape products using a high % of Vit E (iirc) which causes lung issues after continual heating/ inhalation. Oh yea , and plus individuals just literally vaping excessive amounts all day long for weeks/ months.
They also made note of major issues with certain THC vape brands (lack of quality control and excessively high ingrediant levels).
βThe nurses are calling him a legend and a miracle,β Foertsch said. βHe is getting stronger every day and hopes he will be moved to rehab soon.β
No he's a curiosity and while I think he should go under for his stupidity he might be a case study that "could" save lives down the road.

I bet they say that shit to all their patients. Nothing like being prompted and encouraged by a bunch of half ass females that are literally sponging you down every second day and administering meds.
"Oooh, how's our hero today. Heard you sat up all by self yesterday, soon you'll be up and pushing around our trolley for us you big strong lunk. Now i'm just gonna lift your arm and roll you over, Ok ?' - Ugh pathetic !. Lol.
Around 54% of those who receive a lung transplant survive for at least five years after surgery (in 2016) and 64.4% at 10 years for transplants (in 2011).
