You know, cigarettes took decades before we had the hard cancer data.

With vaping, we're less than 20 years in, but already seeing concerning signs.

So animal studies show common vape ingredients increase lung tumors.

And case reports have linked those tasty vape juices to aggressive stomach cancers, as well as lung cancer and severe lung injuries.

And because nicotine suppresses the immune system, it may make it harder for your body to fight off cancer cells of any kind.

Yeah.

I mean, I guess technically you might be able to say that, but that would be a really weird hill to die on.

Sure, cigarettes contain more carcinogens because of combustion, and vaping has fewer of those, but it doesn't mean vaping is harmless.

It's just a different kind of harm.

You're just swapping out combustion for chemicals, so there's still health risks.

You've just been fooled by marketing.

It happens.

In 2017, there was a famous story about a man in Idaho.

He had his vape pen explode in his mouth.

He lost seven teeth.

He suffered burns to his face.

And that's not an isolated incident.

So others have had pockets catch on fire from battery explosions.

There are definitely different concerns than a cigarette.

They have.
