    the synthetic nicotine being produce is done with green chemistry meaning no heavy metals used in synthesis

    with the nicotine being lab made no ground pollutants such as lead and other heavy metals are present just like fake vanilla extract which most seasoning coming from India with polluted soil

    also less soil less environmental impact

    the ingredients have gotten safer over time as well also leading to changes in other industries

    hugely better product both health and environmental and all around

    not to mention not have the ill effects of second hand smoke

    my own lung capacity was around 80% and dropping during the years was consuming combustible nicotine and cannabis products but now is above 90% had my lungs checked by a doctor

    lightyears healthier

      None of that has to do with your claim, and it is also more claims instead of evidence.

      Where’s your evidence that there is a safe level of nicotine consumption?

        Nevermind this, see my reply to squid below. I was operating under the wrong view that nicotine by itself is not cancer causing.

          Safer is not safe.

          I agree, it’s safer. But how can we know it’s safe below a certain amount for lifelong vapers when there hasn’t been enough time to do a long-term study?

          Wouldn’t (and I say this as a long-term cannabis vaporizer myself) putting anything into the lungs on a regular basis other than air be inherently unsafe long-term?

            Nothing is 100% safe. Which is why harm reduction is an important part of the conversation when discussing drug addiction.

            Water is safer than tea. Tea safer than coffee. All three can in theory kill you if consumed in large enough quantities.

            Anyway, I figured I would dig around more on vaping instead of just glancing at the top search result.

            And, I take what I said back. Nicotine by itself causes cancer. Tobacco just makes it more likely.

              I don’t disagree with you on the “safer” thing at all, but OP said that it was “safe.”

              But this has become moot anyway based on your research.

                Yeah, my bad for glancing at the top search result before I made my long-winded post above lol.

                Hope you’re well, Mr. Squid.

                    Sorry to hear that. My mental health is finally on the mend. Giving myself permission to be myself for the first time in my life, really.

                    Hope things get better for you soon :)
