My take - it is PROBABLY safer than smoking. On the surface, it IS, but

you won't know for sure for many years. They could do a study 20 years from now that follows people who have been vaping and find statistical evidence that vaping is worse than smoking.

But for right now, if you're a cigarette smoker and you simply can't quit, then switch to vaping. Smoking is proven to be terrible for you. Vaping might not be.

If you're a non smoker? Don't start vaping just because you think it might be safe.
