What is safer vaping or smoking cigarettes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither are "safe": As of 11 SEP 2019 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 6 deaths & > 450 possible cases of severe lung injury in 33 states & 1 jurisdiction related to vaping. The mechanism of injury is poorly understood at this time. Don't recommend vaping. However, in general, smoking cigarettes tends to present with a higher frequency of side effects.
