Are E-cigs better for you then smoking cigs?

[CMA4714]

Yes, it is better for you.
No, it is not better for you.

 

[Madame Psychosis]

Well, we're a self-selecting survey population (I don't know who would stick around on a forum like this and yet answer "no"), but...
I think this answers it, if you're curious:

[Doublexl85]

lol, Can't imagine someone who had used PVs for more then a day would put no. You feel the differences in your lungs,smell,taste, and energy in about a day.

 

[pianoguy]

Well, if e-cigs are worse, they're the best kind of worse imaginable.

 

[cassavetes]

I'd say just about anything is better than smoking cigarettes. Except crack. Crack is bad, mmmkay.

 

[DaMulta]

I voted no for the little guy

 

[nycityjeff]

Yes. Period

 

[CMA4714]

Thanks for voting for the little guy...lol I did not really what the little guy to win

 

[sbphotog]

My body doesn't lie to me and it tells me that they are a million times better...........

Dr. Michael Siegel from Boston University estimates the electronic cigarettes are probably about 99.9% safer than regular cigarettes, and I'll go with his estimates.

In my personal experience they are better. Long term who knows but we know for sure analogs are not good. Even given the choice of the two on the price and smell issues alone I'd go for the ecig.

 

[weaponX]

It may not be "officially" proven yet...but im not hacking up brown $h*t in the morning anymore...

im gonna say yes.

 

[fallon74]

I don't know who voted no but I know e-cigs are way better for you!

 

[NCC]

OK, DaMulta admitted to voting NO ... but someone else did too. Maybe a mistake?

I'm going out on a limb and saying neither are 'good' for you, so neither is 'better' ...
one would be less harmful than the other though.
I vape.

 

[throatkick]

All indications thus far are yes.

 

[offset]

There haven't been any studies on the long term effects of vaping, but all the evidence currently available points to it being vastly safer than smoking.

 

[nansc]

Yes of course it is better for you.

 

[Pega]

Yes!

If you want to be really sure don't inhale into your lungs (there is no need to since most of the nicotine from vapor is absorbed through your mouth and sinuses)
