Although there's no evidence that you can get cancer from vaping there is still a risk of developing lung cancer when you vape.

The vaping chemicals can be very harmful to your health and are not good for your lungs either.

Some people have developed lung disease and lung issues from vaping and have died as a result of the vaping.

So you can die from vaping in rare cases and it's not healthy just like cigarettes are not healthy for you.

You have less of a chance of developing lung cancer or lung disease from vaping than you do from smoking cigarettes.

However both cigarettes and vaping are harmful to your health.

While it's not completely proven that vaping directly causes cancer, it’s still a risky habit. Some of the chemicals in vape products are harmful and can affect your lungs over time. There have been cases of people developing lung issues or diseases from vaping, which can be serious. Although smoking cigarettes is generally worse in terms of cancer risk, vaping isn't necessarily safe. If you're using weed pens, it's important to consider the potential harm to your lungs, even though they don’t contain nicotine. Being mindful of what you're inhaling is key.

Vaping can be worse than smoking as some vapes can contain more chemicals that could be more harmful than smoking cigarettes.

However vaping tends to expose you to less toxins and at lower levels than smoking cigarettes.

Although both vaping and smoking are bad for your health and should be avoided.

The long term effects of vaping are not fully known yet.

Vaping and smoking carry many of the same health risks which include cardiovascular disease and lung disease although vaping tends to expose you to less toxins than smoking.

vaping is not totally risk free and there have been cases of lung injuries and deaths associated with vaping.

People who have never smoked should and teens or young adults should not use vaping or e cigarettes.

Vaping is also highly addictive just like cigarettes.
