No. Add to that, it can help those of us with asthma too: Persisting Long Term Benefits of Smoking Abstinence and Reduction in Asthmatic Smokers Who Have Switched to Electronic Cigarettes - Riccardo Polosa - Discovery Medicine

By substantially reducing the number of cigarettes smoked per day and exposure to their numerous hazardous toxicants, e-Cigarettes may not only improve asthma symptoms and pulmonary function but may also confer an overall health advantage in smokers with asthma (Polosa et al., 2013b). Therefore, e-Cigarette use in asthmatic smokers who are unable or unwilling to quit should be exploited as a safer alternative approach to harm-reversal (i.e., specific reversal of asthma-related outcomes) and, in general, to harm-reduction (i.e., overall reduction of smoke-related diseases).

does vaping cause copd?
No, but smoking does, ask me how I know.

4-5% of the harms associated with tobacco smoking.

If it's true that the average lifelong smoker reduces their life expectancy by 10-11 years then a never smoker could vape his/her head off their entire life and MAYBE lose a few months.
And most assuredly be much, much healthier their entire lives.

My figures may be off some but the idea is not. imo. Cheers.
