How safe do you think vaping is? Any experts?

I've just started vaping in order to quit actual fags... so not just vaping for the sake of it. Ideally I'd love to quit both. Easier said than done. Hopefully it can be a new years resolution ~again~.

I hear whilst vaping is apparently much less harmful than smoking, it's still not great for you. I'm 38.

At the minute I'm using a 0% nicotine one. It just feels... dry? Harsh?

If you're on 0% then it's habit you need to break now not the nicotine addiction. So change your habits to make it difficult/boring/hassle. Look at your habits - cup of tea means vape time then vape b4 or after instead, somewhere boring and uncomfortable. Break the link between vaping/smoking and pleasure/relaxing/stress relief.

Yes it's 0%

I swapped from smoking to vaping about 9 years ago (before it was cool). I vape way more than I ever smoked and suspect you will have to pry my vape from my cold, dead hand...
I know quitting vaping would be better for my health, but it's a LOT better than smoking and there are worse habits.

Specifically, I don't think there's any decent research either way on the health impacts. I know the 'popcorn lung' thing isn't true. But I certainly feel some chest tightness occasionally if I vape too much. Obviously there are still particles going into your lungs (but then, pollution does that too) so will be some impact.

95% safer than cigs in the last studies
Anecdotal- I've vaped for 5 years with no issues
