    They’re still healthier than cigarettes (just because you’re not breathing combusted organic matter) so if every smoker switched to vapes then we’d be in a better place. The only issue I have is the huge uptake of vaping among young people who wouldn’t otherwise have smoked.

      That’s what I meant by harm reduction.

      Another big problem with vaping is electronic waste/pollution (especially with the cheap disposables).

      You also have to worry about cheap atomizers leeching heavy metals into the vapor.
