I don't think they're making an argument that vaping is healthy, just that it's less harmful than literal ash in your lungs.
You dont inhale ash... And vaping isnt healthy by any means. Lungs are ment to process gasses not liquids suspended in //those gases
//Smoke particulates and resins are not ash
Oh then all those black smokers lungs are just fakes then gotcha.
Way to completely miss the point of not only the first person you replied to but mine as well. Neither of us said it was healthy. Stop trying to start a fight with people you agree with.
Smoke particulate and resins are inhaled, ash is the burnt stuff that falls off the end of the cigarettes ya hoser.
I didnt miss the point here, you did. Neither option is healthy in any sense. And if anything vaping is more hazardous to ones health as it really does destroy the alveoli (by coating them with sticky glycerine) in the lungs, ya know, what absorbs the oxygen and releases CO2.

Quit trying. You're embarrassing yourself. Just going to block you. I'm done wasting time with a dumbass.
Ease up. I understand what he meant. He meant 'tar', the toxic substance that accumulates in your lungs from smoking.
