Dangerous how? Life is invariably fatal, nobody gets out alive. For me at least, the question is "is vaping more or less dangerous than smoking?" That question has been answered, at least in my mind, and with (so far) no conflicting evidence.

My lungs told me that vaping instead of smoking 1.5 packs a day (Camel Filters) is definitely healthier. I learned to windsurf in 2012 while still smoking. I couldn't handle the physical exhaustion very well, and had to take 4 times more 30-min. breaks than my smoke-free friends. A short run would result in pulmonary distress and muscles turned to rubber (from lack of oxygen).

In 2013 I discovered eCigs, and switched over completely. In about 3 months, it was like I had a whole new set of lungs! I didn't get better during the year of smoking, but I definitely got better 'wind' after 3 months of no more tobacco. Now I can windsurf for 6 hours with only 1 break. My lungs are getting 2-3 times more oxygen to my blood than before.

as a long time MTL vaper who had a complete health checkup and beyond done last year (complete blood work, ct scan on chest, brain MRI, etc.) that showed my fatigue & brain farts were just the result of long term sleep deprivation and that i was in perfect health otherwise (was not the case before vaping), so nope i do not believe vaping is as dangerous as some scientist claim one bit.

i however don't believe vaping is totally safe, nor always risk free for everyone either. for me vaping certain flavors too long (my favorite custards and vanilla bean ice cream juices) would result in minor breathing smoking like issues creeping back up so i no longer vape them regularly anymore just to be 'safer'..

I feel the same way with custards and vanillas witch are my favourite vape! What do you vape instead ?

i vape unflavored vg nic with 2% koolada about half the day (sometimes adding a little cucumber or minty menthol in it too) and make or buy big bottles of plain cheesecake (mostly buy T1V's since i still like theirs better than mine) and add about 1/4 of it to other flavors/juices to give them that creamy custard like taste/feel that i prefer. the cheesecake goes great with glazed donut, creamy butterscotch, some light fruits, and especially in coffees. not as satisfying as the vanilla custards but, it is close enough to keep me happy.

Vaping in a parking lot with lots of cars going by is more dangerous than vaping inside.

My lungs tell me that vaping has been good for me after almost 7 years of using my mod like a pacifier. Is it good for us? Probably not. Does it hurt our health? If it does it's not anywhere near as dangerous as inhaling tobacco smoke. The Royal College of Physicians in Britain rated vaping 95% safer than smoking.

I ride 18 to 24 miles a week on my stationary bike in 6 mile intervals. I have a standalone finger type pulse Oximeter that reads my pulse and oxygen levels. I maintain 98 and 99 percent oxygen saturation routinely. I'll bet that when I smoked 2 PAD I would have had trouble maintaining those numbers.

Okay is vaping 99.5 percent safer then cigarette smoking and can it save lives you tell me want you guys think of this.
why the redundant silly questions?? there is a plethora of evidence that supports the fact vaping saves lives from those with COPD to those with more extreme conditions getting better...Vaping where i live even if every breath is nothing but vape is safer than just breathing the air in NYC or LA or Chicago or any major smog city.

Okay so is vaping 99.5 percent safer then cigarette smoking you tell me your report.
According to the Royal College of Physicians report, which I just saw linked above, it is at least 95% less harmful than smoking. Another recent longterm study from the U.K. bumped that number up to 97% in people who have completely transitioned to vaping, does not apply to duel users. Read the reports. Make up your own mind.
