Question 2

please help docs! is smoking hookah pens bad for me?

Yes and no: Yes, they are bad for you because you are still taking in nicotine, and because many of the other elements in the vapor (propylene glycol, formaldehyde, unknown flavorings, colorings, additives, preservatives) are of uncertain safety.

Question 10

what do you suggest if i have been smoking a vaporizer for a while and hookah pens that have no nicotine but are they bad for my health?

Accepted Answer

Nobody knows: There have been no studies of even short-term use, and nobody knows what is in the oils and their flavorings and what they do.  Oil in general ain't great for lungs, and the vehicle used in these vaporizers is propylene glycol, and nobody knows what his does when inhaled either. While it is likely that vaping will not be as bad as smoking tobacco, nobody can say that yet with certainty.
