Way more of those kids are vaping marijuana, which has an orders of magnitude lower threat profile than both smoking AND tobacco vape oil rigs.

Also, even full smoking of marijuana is less dirty than smoking cigs, and a significant amount of marijuana smokers use things like bongs, bubblers, and other water filtration systems which do (slightly) reduce the harm of the smoke.

Marijuana is straight up harm reduction over big tobacco.

Not as big of a harm reduction as people not smoking anything, which is where we were heading in the 1990s before marijuana legalization.

There is no such thing as "tobacco vape oil"

I would trust vape juice 1000x over thc oil, especially if it was unflavored. Vape juice is three ingredients and very easy to get their pure forms. Vape oil is pretty sketchy and has to be done very carefully.

But thc gummies are almost certainly safer than any of the above.

Very much depends on how you define threat.

I'd very much prefer that the driver in the other lane is smoking a ciggy rather that vaping marijuana in the interest of preserving their individual health.

Stoned drivers will actually slow the fuck down and often don’t tailgate. The average ciggie smoking driver is an asshole who will tailgate in their oversized dodge ram pickup with their brights on.
