When looking at vaping we're not comparing it to not smoking, we're comparing it to smoking. And vaping is very much safer than smoking.

The stuff about the minimal harms and potential unknown harms is only useful for the population who isn't currently smoking.

I didn’t say that either. Just that if you couldn’t quit cold turkey, vaping is better than just continuing with cigarettes. I was able to do the former, but can totally understand those who resort to the latter.
