How bad is vapor combined with nicotine compared to smoke?
I just am not sure and just want to be safe.

Hi Debster. well the short answer to your question is....you don't have all the carcinogens and junk that are in regular cigs in e cigs. It's best to do your researc and decide for yourself. If you go to the capaign and law and the ecig threads, you will find the CASA group. There is good information there that will help you in your search. For me it's night and day compared to cigs.
My brother the licensed pharmacist said it isn't harmful when I told him what was in it, so I'm going with that. That being said, I know some people may have bad reactions to PG that clear up when they switch to VG liquids.
I recommend reading everything you can on this site and Casaa.org, and making your own mind up. That's what I did -- I am now smoke free for over a year, and I feel a million times better than I did as a smoker.
I hope someone chimes in to address these questions in more depth for you!

bad? that's a relative term...
it's it better for you than smoking a cigarette? yes
is it better than not smoking or vaping? no.
That's probably the best answer you will get... (unless you want more details)

Here's some awesome information about vaping vs smoking:

Also it may comfort you to know that all the ingredients that we use to make our e-cigarette liquids are also present in cigarettes too. It's not as if we are inhaling some new foreign chemicals, they are the same 3 or 4 ingredients we've always inhaled (propylene glycol, glycerine, nicotine, flavoring -- all FDA approved fyi).. just without all the the other 596+ ingredients that are in tobacco cigs. 599 Ingredients added to Cigarettes

That depends on what results you are trying to get. If you are trying to substitute a 25+ year smoking habit with a reduced harm alternative then I think you will probably need the nicotine.
If you want to smoke on occasion but don't want to start smoking cigarettes.... don't vape either. If you are free from this addiction be free.
Good luck.
You can get similar results... but they won't be nearly as significant. the only thing you will get is the hand to mouth and oral fixation...
you can do the same thing with a roll of paper...

My main question is vapor itself.
Doesn't vapor go to the bloodstream?
What about smoke compared to vapor itself.

i'm confused... vapor in the bloodstream? uhm... not like what you are thinking...
just think of it like this. is it dangerous to go to a haunted house? they use smoke machines and those use PG.
the only other things in it are nicotine and flavoring... and vegetable glycerin which can and sometimes is also used in fog machines... i think

Maybe I can break it down more easily:
• Propylene Glycol and Glycerin (the bases for our e-liquids)
break down in the blood stream and become glucose. Neither ingredient is a carcinogen. PG is also used both as a base for inhaled medicine therapies and in injectable medicines.
• Nicotine (the go juice)
is a stimulant relative to caffeine... also, strangely, has been found to NOT be significantly addictive. Only when it's used in conjunction with tobacco products does it become extremely addictive. Furthermore, the tobacco companies add an ingredient to make it absorb into your blood quicker and stronger -- this is called (by them) as freebasing. In addition, nicotine is not a carcinogen.
• Flavorings
this is the part that we know the least about... but I can tell you that if you read through the list I posted of the 599 ingredients added to tobacco cigarettes that you'll find dozens and dozens of flavorings.
I hope that helps.
As for the tobacco cigarette, it contains the following (and more):
Ammonia: Household cleaner.
Arsenic: Used in rat poisons.
Benzene: Used in making dyes, synthetic rubber.
Carbon monoxide: Poisonous gas.
Cadmium: Used in batteries.
Cyanide: Lethal poison.
Ethyl Furoate: Causes liver damage in animals.
Lead: Poisonous in high doses.
Formaldehyde: Used to preserve dead specimens.
Methoprene: Insecticide.
Maltitol: Sweetener for diabetics.
Napthalene: Ingredient in mothballs.

Like a sauna, all the pores are open, flushed out of your system, breathers are chemically medicated to clear out open airways, seems if you mix vapor with a chemical the nicotine would advance.
uh... I don't get what you are getting at.. is there a question there...
because the nicotine delivery in an ecig is about 10% of that from a cigarette fyi

We find that we are actually absorbing about 10%-40% of the nicotine that we are inhaling. The chemical that is added to tobacco cigarettes is not added to e-liquid so our bodies do not absorb it as well as when we smoke. Furthermore, of all the ingredients in cigarettes nicotine is among the LEAST harmful.
Imagine if your morning coffee was brewed using arsenic... it's not the caffeine that's the culprit, it's the delivery medium. Same thing is happening with nicotine in this case.
smoking bad
nicotine good
The medical opinion to date with "approved" NRPs is anything beats smoking. There are issues related to quiting smoking even if you use a NRP, approved or otherwise. The long term research on PVs is pending, and opinions vary a great deal. However, the lack of known carcinogens suggests that PVs beats smoking.
I think you need to read some of the testimonials here. I'm new to the vaping world and have read some very convincing evidence. I don't know how long you've been smoking, however consider the alternative:
Lung cancer
Cancer of the mouth
Cancer of the throat
Cancer of the larynx
Cancer of the oesophagus
Stomach cancer
Kidney cancer
Cancer of the bladder
Cancer of the pancreas
Liver cancer
Cancer of the penis
Cancer of the anus
Cervical cancer
Prostate cancer
Heart attack
Coronary heart disease
Cardiovascular disease
Congestive heart failure
Stroke
Atherosclerosis
Abdominal aortic aneurysm
Peripheral artery disease
Ischaemic heart disease
Angina
Leukaemia
Emphysema
Chronic bronchitis
Pneumonia
Asthma
Diabetes
Stomach ulcers
Cataracts
Gum disease
High blood pressure
Crohn's disease
Premature aging of the skin
Loss of smell and taste
Osteoporosis (women)
Gangrene
Impotence
Reduced fertility
Do you really think vaping can cause all this? I don't thing so, and if your like me, sick to death of the smell, the burns, hacking all day and paying 6-7 a pack etc, then I would think the positives of vaping FAR out weigh the negatives of smoking cigarettes.
