I never smoked but I just started using vapors I like them but I don't want to end up getting cancer or anything or worse damage to your body/lungs/skin is this true for vapors or only for smokers?
Dose vapping cause the same health issues as a smoker?

No. My doctor said my lab tests are better. My dentist does not know that I switched, but he noticed my gums were a lot better. I feel better.
I see it as tobacco Harm Reduction (THR). Basically, it is a lot better than smoking.

I think the general consensus is that Not Vaping is healthier than Vaping, and Vaping is healthier than smoking.
I also believe that the majority here at ECF would not encourage a never-smoker to start Vaping.
The long term health consequences of vaping, if any, are not known. People haven't been vaping long enough to find out. Generally, it is believed not vaping is better than vaping, and vaping is better than smoking. Actually, that latter part is beginning to be proved; there are now several empirical studies confirming it. Whatever the consequences of vaping may be, assuming there are some, they will be different than those of smoking.
This article explains it best ...

Y'know, it is just hard to see a respected media outlet or government entity in the U.S. to say that.
I have no heath problems from vaping. I did have health problems from smoking. I had peripheral arterial disease, (PAD) and could not walk more than 100 ft. without my legs painfully cramping up. I also had terrible pains in my legs at night and could not sleep. Add to that poor lung function and constantly coughing up gunk. Over time into vaping that all went away. Now I have no problem walking miles, I don't cough up gunk anymore, and I have no more leg pains at night, and on the whole I feel so much better.
So no, vaping does not cause the health problems of smoking.

Frenchfry, I concur with your post. My Doc and Dentist are telling me the similar about my health in the past couple of years. So Vaping has to be healthier than Cigs.
Vape on Y'all
I also have PAD and had a bypass in December. I have been smoking for 38 years so that's what it did to me. I still have problems with my left leg so giving up smoking might not make it better but it won't make it worse. If vaping helps me quit then it's healthier for me.
Agree with everyone else, not doing anything is better than vaping or smoking. I wouldn't encourage it if you don't need it to help you quit smoking.
Considering e-cigarettes have ~4000 less chemicals than cigarettes I'd be willing to wager they're safer than smoking cigarettes.
But yes, not vaping is safer than vaping.

There've been people succumbing to lung cancer who never smoked.
Former German chancellor Schmidt had his ticket punched recently - at two packs a day and 95 years age.
Vaping / smoking will NOT guarantee you cancer
NOT vaping NOT smoking will NOT guarantee you NO cancer
Breathing anything but air will tilt the odds. Taking a stroll at a busy intersection during rush hour, smoking, vaping .
The degree of 'tilt' varies greatly and my be further altered by your inner workings/genetic dispostion.
Smoking - vaping - neither ...
If you'd switch from smoking to vaping, it'd tweak the odds in your favour.
If you switch from non-vaping/non-smoking to vaping you tweak the odds in your disfavour.
While reading that on your smartphone and not minding traffic around you, you *could * get run over by a bus or a truck (hopefully not). In which case cancer worries would be moot.
No absolutes in life...all degrees of some or another...

That's where PAD showed up first for me, in my left leg. It's been three years off the smokes now, and it's all better. I don't have the pains anymore, I can walk normally now for miles without my legs cramping up, but that started going away not long after I quit smoking, maybe 4 months. Do it girl, just do it.
Uh, wait.. So:
Or:
Lol sorry I think your point was clear I just like to heckle.
Angel 1964, glad to hear that Vaping has paid you great healthy benefits.
I was diagnosed with beginning stages of COPD and on two different inhalers; couldn't walk very far in this high altitude. But now two years plus of vaping and most of the Lung problem have subsided and sure feel much better. And I can walk my Pups without getting winded. Sleeping at night is much better as well.
So I would have to say from my own bodies reaction to vaping over smoking has been positive
Well I know my health is better after 43 years smoking and 2.5 vaping.
Since you are concerned about the health effects of vaping, my advice to you would be to Not vape. I Do Not Recommend vaping to a Non-Smoker.
They are not 100% free of harm...
They are a much less harmful form of receiving nicotine for people that are dependent on it in its other forms such as tobacco.
I look back at my times in the cities and even just near cities. I live in Arizona now. We don't have buses, cabs factories or a lot of cars here, just the coyotes and cactus.
Roads are long, open to views and great for a 2000cc engine.
