    Don’t be so sure about that one.

      FDA officials concluded that the health risks from Zyn pouches are likely lower than potential risks from using snus (low toxicant smokeless tobacco) and the FDA has already concluded that some snus brands are significantly less harmful than cigarettes.

      I don’t consume any nicotine myself, but it seems that letting people use nicotine in a way that is less harmful to their health is a good idea.

      There have been specific statements made that express that you shouldn’t use nicotine:

      “There is no safe tobacco product,” the agency said. “Youth should not use tobacco products and adults who do not use tobacco products should not start.”

        That’s Zyn and not Vapes

          I agree it seems that “smokeless tobacco” means “consuming tobacco by putting it in your mouth rather than putting nicotine into air and inhaling it”. I assumed that “smokeless tobacco” included “vaporized nicotine”, probably due to my unfamiliarity with nicotine products.

          Regardless, it seems that using a vape leads to less harm than using cigarettes:

          There is substantial evidence that e-cigarette exposure is associated with biomarkers reflective of cancer disease risk. However, the overall evidence on cancer risk is still limited and should be further investigated by future research, particularly rigorously designed clinical trials and population-based research.

      More research needs to be done, but all the evidence points to vaping being vastly safer than smoking. Of course, your lungs are meant to inhale air and nothing else, so neither is still the best option

        Talk for yourself, but I, as a homo sapiens, evolved from a fish. So my Lungs are actually made to breathe water.

            I’ll let you know that us weather-controlling atlanteans are actually direct descendants of the greek and as such worship Zeus and the greek pantheon.

            Anyways, I have to go now, time to sacrifice a bull to Zeus. Ask him to accelerate climate change. Atlantian colonialism, turning the whole world into one huge sunken city, you know how it is.

        seems like lack of regulation resulted in a number of high profile serious cases of harm

        obviously smoking is bad but saying vaping is vastly safer assumes best case on one side and worse case on the other

          If you don’t want to vape that’s fine but acting like it is worse than smoking is crazy. Just don’t buy sketchy refills or any thc vapes in non legal states. Or you could make your own pretty cheaply.

            except a number of those were not from sketchy sources so much as the supply chain is itself sketch

            that includes the do it yourself juice

            so unless you are doing something dry and even then tests on a number of weed products show really bad chemicals in a number of legit dispense products

            so yea unless you are growing the shit yourself the industry is kinda the wild west still atm

            but yea sig makers have been caught a number of times doing this shit too, they are just more regulated atm

              I did vape and made my own juice , before it was cool hehe . Glycerin and propylene glycol base food grade stuff is 99,9%. Add a bit of nicotin and some (quality)flavour if wanted. Just using some good stuff.

              It helped me off the cigarettes , and they have like 3000 harmful substances, no way vaping is that bad for you.

              Nowadays I just have a cigarillo now and again. But now I got the craving for a joint, no tobacco :)

      Oh come on, my guy. This is the perfect set-up. Do I need to make a sprog account just to follow you around and show you up?

      “Stop smoking those!” the people said, as Timmy dragged away.

      “You know those things’ll kill you!” for the fourteenth time that day.

      But Timmy’s breaks were longer, since he took the habit on,

      and now he was addicted, smoking cigs from dusk to dawn.

      So, when a woman stopped and said "I know a better form,

      you needn’t even quit the stuff, nor need you fear the harm!"

      poor Timmy went right down the street and filled his pockets full

      of cartridges and flavored oils and other random bull.

      He puffed away then on his vape, and brushed his fears aside,

      But glycol soon accumulates, and Timmy fucking died.
