> Vaping is fairly popular, safe

No. Vaping is not "safe". Please stop saying this.

Vaping is safer than cigarettes. That seems to be true. Vaping is a great intermediate step to try to get people off of cigarettes.

Vaping is NOT safer than not vaping. One huge problem with vaping is that it has infested the high schools and reversed 25 years of anti-smoking efforts.

Vaping has been infesting schools long enough to see some consequences. Yet aside from shrill parents calling it trashy every time there's been health consequences that matter it's the kid with a pre-existing condition or the one who shotgunned seven juuls at the same time.
