I think most medical professionals don't know enough about it to know what to think. They are probably waiting for the regulations to kick in. I'm all for that as well, even if it means we're restricted in some ways.

The only absolute to date is it's much safer than smoking but I wonder if they uncover vaping 'dangers' will they then stop people from eating food since every ingredient in the liquid is consumed in abundance in what people eat every day.

The food industry may kick up about that?

I can say for sure though that whatever may come our way, I will not be turning to Judy James for advice lol.

I could hardly understand a word Judy James said. She speaks with her mouth closed. I assume her face is frozen as it seems to be full of fillers and all that gunk used by Pricey and others. No expression. Anything I do understand isn't based on anything scientific. She's subjective and her theories wouldn't hold up on a Noddy Show.

I always find it weird when people, like Calum, are assiduous about working out, taking all those health supplements and eating nothing but chicken and vegetables and then they proceed to smoke their lungs out. I once had a chain-smoker lecture me on mushrooms being carcinogenic and how he would never, ever eat mushrooms.

Better than smoking

. Well done.

So do we agree with Judy that we'd be jumping Callums bones if we could?

Visually, blowing a cloud of vapour is the same "body language" as smoking, so from that point of view it makes no difference.

Vaping may not be safe -

The important part of that article:

Quote:
“The study also discovered the presence of "free radicals" in e-cigarette vapour, although at 1% of the level found in real cigarettes.”

If I wasn't vaping I'd be smoking..........

I didn't really want to turn this into a vaping discussion but I just want to say it's still an unknown quantity but it changed my life and it's a million times less harmful than cigs we wait to see what the risks what might be but they are minimal.

I just wanted to say huge high five to the people who replied who feel a million times better for making the switch I'm delighted for all of you and to the sceptics yeah we know it's unknown territory but we're happy so far!
