Perrien Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 There are MANY articles out there discussing the relative benefits of gaping to smoking and most agree that it's safer to some degree. What I'd like to know is what are the absolute health risks of vaping? My wife is an ex smoker (several years now) and I am an occasional cigar smoker (maybe a few a month). We both enjoy and miss the experience of smoking but have no need for the nicotine. Given that we currently don't smoke (effectively), what are the health risks of beginning vaping to get the enjoyment of it back but vape only zero nic mixes? I know nicotine is relatively safe (I've heard similar to caffeine) but if neither of us want or need it, why bother with it? So, any known serious risks of vaping to non-smokers?

Jeffb Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I dont know of any health risks from vaping PG or VG. Vaping is still relatively new. I dont know of any scientific studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Ron Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 As Jeff said there is no indepth studies although I read somewhere about a study that proves no ill effect to the heart. Also PV and VG is in many of the food items we use everyday so I would guess to say minus the nic it should be pretty safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Take a drag of a traditional cigarette and blow the smoke through a tissue or cloth. Now try the same thing with vapor from an e-cig. This simple experiment will give you some idea how nasty tobacco smoke really is and how much you really shouldn't worry about e-cig vapor.

seanben Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 This is not harmful just like the smoking with normal cig was..It is a lot safer than normal cigs to vape with it,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsayfox Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 It is far more convincing and safe than the normal analogs,It is the best way to quit smoking(analogs) and to sty fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uma Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 So far, the only proof, is via patients and their doctors. The ecig world, to date, doesn't have the funds to prove anything, that's why we went for the "tobacco" label. Doctors, the world over, are astounded by the health improvements of their patients. That's proof enough for me that they are more beneficial than harmful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsayfox Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Vaping includes nicotine but it is away from all the other harmful stuffs that are available in cigarettes and nicotine is not alone responsible for the hazardous health effects.Don't listen to any one till you feel something physically that would be worse for the body.
