Are e-cigarettes safer then regular tobacco cigarette?

[Simran Ahuja]

I'm a tobacco cigarette smoker, but now I want to buy e-cigarette for myself. I just want to continue smoking without any bad stuff, should I purchase it?

No smoking is healthy, vaping is just a "healthier" alternative. Not as many chemicals, much safer.

Vaping is all about tobacco harm reduction, not elimination. There's "bad stuff" in almost everything we touch--our food, the air we breathe, the water we drink.

When you're smoking tobacco you're inhaling tar, carbon monoxide and about 4000 other chemical compounds. The ingredients in e-juice are relatively harmless by comparison.

Current medical opinion is that e-cigarettes are 95-98% safer than tobacco cigarettes.

Just from my own personal experience I would recommend e cigs to everyone who smokes. In my life I feel like I've had a 99% improvement in quality of life after switching to e cigs.

Cigarette are vile, smelly, and proven to destroy your health, resulting in a painful undignified death for most smokers.
Give me beautiful, tasty swet smelling clouds of vapor all day everyday.

Even if vaping was proven to be as bad as smoking, I would still wouldn't go back to tobacco.
