The problem is that vaping is NOT safer than NOT smoking.
The issue is that vaping is seen as "absolutely safe" rather than "relatively safer". Since vaping is now seen as "cool" (look at the "Game of Thrones" stars being shown vaping--especially the attractive, young women), it is converting non-smoking, non-vaping people into vapers.

That's a problem.
