Vaping popularity growing, but study questions health risk excerpt from link above: Graves hears and sees the concerns on a regular basis, some of which he feels are misguided. “One of the main misconceptions is that vaping is anywhere near like cigarettes,” he said. “It is considered an electronic cigarette, which I think is a coined term by tobacco companies, but it’s a completely different thing entirely. It’s meant to get (people) off cigarettes.” ........... For adults, in Graves’ view, it’s a matter of comparing vaping to traditional smoking, which he calls much more dangerous. “There’s no carcinogens, no burning of tobacco,” Graves said. “People are concerned it’s harmful like cigarettes, but that’s not at all the case. It’s nowhere near good for you, but I’d say it’s 100 times better for you than smoking cigarettes.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________
