I'm very conflicted about vaping. On the one hand I'm happy it exists as I think it can definitely help some people quit smoking.

On the other hand I dislike it as it lowers the entry into smoking and also has the adverse effect. ( My opinion ) It's probably also not great for your lungs to inhale steam on a regular basis.

As a non smoker at least my clothes don't smell like smoke/tobacco, doesn't stink up the room and there's no people holding their cigarette nexto them so it doesn't blow in their face, while it's smoking in mine all the time ( e.g.: at a bar outside ). Super annoying( though not deliberate on their end ). Vaping at least solves that issue for non smokers compared to ciggies.

Good on you for quitting!

It's not just "steam" in vapes, there's also the chemicals used to vaporize the liquid, and of course the flavors themselves. I'm not a scientist but I can't imagine it's good for you. Breathing regular air in a big city isn't great for you - like, bacon causes cancer - we probably don't want to assume the best for directly inhaling inadequately studied chemicals
