Cigarettes and tobacco have been used for centuries, but only in the last few decades
have we really come to realize how dangerous smoking really is.
Cigarette smoking kills alost half a million people in the united states alone each and
every year.
But Vaping, the process of inhaling e liquid containing nicotine using an e cigarette is
also on the rise because it’s a much healthier alternative to smoking.
In the year 2015, every single day vaping helped 49 people quit smoking.
But is vaping really better for you than traditional cigarettes?
Vapes haven’t been around for all that long, so how can we truly know for sure.
That’s the question we’re asking today on lifes biggest questions.
Hello and welcome back to life’s biggest questions.

Before I get into this video, I just wanted to give a quick shout out to our sponsor,
ABAY Of course, if you are not of legal smoking
age, we do not recommend that you purchase abay or any other tobacco products.
But if you’re a smoker looking to switch from cigarettes to vaping, you should start
with abay.
Abays are compact and they have a compact battery.
Abay pods are high capacity that are more than twice the capacity of juul pods.
Abay pods also come in several delicious flavours, you’ll definitely find one that’s right
for you.
The best thing about abay is their ceramic coils.
You’ll never get a burnt hit with a ceramic coil.
You can charge Abay in two ways, with a USB and with a Portable charging case that comes
with the starter kit.
Dead vape and on the go?
No problem.
Just put your abay inside the portable charging case.
If all of that sounds good to you, use this code, when you’re at check out for 29.99
off the starter kit.

Now that that’s out of the way, lets get into this video.
When you smoke a cigarette, the heat from the fire causes the substances in the cigarette
to change from a solid to a vapour, which releases nicotine.
The nicotine is then absorbed into your blood system through your lungs, causing your heart
rate to increase, your blood vessels to constrict, and dopamine to release in the brain.
The smoke from cigarettes is made up of mostly burned particles, which create a build up
of tar in your body.
The tar can cause cancer, discolour teeth and destroy taste buds.
Definitely not cute.
But many people in recent years have taken up vaping as an alternative to smoking, and
as a way to get off cigarettes completely.
So how exactly do vapes work.
Vapes use electrical power from a battery to heat a liquid solution.
The solution then becomes vapour, the vapour condenses into an aerosol, which is inhaled.
There are usually only 4 different chemicals in e-liquid, one of them propylene glycol,
which is also used in theatrical smoke.
Some e liquids contain something called diacetyl, which is a chemical that can lead to scarring
of the lungs, aka popcorn lung.
If you do want to take up vaping, make sure you stick to e liquid that doesn’t contain
diacetyl.
Based on the current information available, vaping is less harmful to your body than smoking.
Cigarettes contain up to 7 thousand chemicals.
Vaping products don’t contain tobacco and don’t involve burning because they don’t
produce smoke.
If you’re a smoker and you switch to vaping, it will reduce the amount of chemicals exposed
to your body by a substantial amount.
Studies have also shown short term general health improvements from people who have switched
from smoking cigarettes to vaping.
Cancer Research UK funded scientists discovered that the people who swapped cigarettes for
e cigs for at least 6 months had significantly lower levels of toxic and cancer causing substances
in their body than those who continued to use conventional cigarettes.
According to Public health england, vaping is 95% safer than smoking cigarettes, and
cancer research UK supports e cigarettes in the fight against cancer which is a pretty
good indication considering that Medical professionals are extremely against using cigarettes and
tobacco products.
I should also note that you could save thousands of dollars per year if you switch from smoking
to vaping.
So what about second hand vaping?
Are you putting others around you at risk, like children that you live with?
Second hand vapour from e cigarettes and its effects is still being researched, but as
it stands right now, second hand vapour poses little danger to others, if any at all.
Of course this doesn’t mean that you should be blowing vapour in a baby’s face.
Refrain from vaping in confined spaces with minors.
Of course, the best thing to do for your health is not to vape or smoke.
When it comes down to it, vaping does contain nicotine unless you specifically get the kind
that doesn’t.
Nicotine is addictive.
That being said, nicotine does not cause smoking related diseases such as cancers and heart
disease.
Lung cancer is caused by direct exposure of the lungs to carcinogens in tobacco smoke.
I should also say that if you are pregnant, refrain from smoking or vaping because nicotine
could cause harm to the fetus.
Scientists are still studying the long term effects of vaping, but as of right now, vapes
have the seal of approval from many medical organizations and doctors as a healthier,
effective alternative to smoking.
Almost half of the population doesn’t know that cigarettes are a far healthier alternative
to traditional cigarettes.
Spread the word.
Before I wrap up this episode of life’s biggest questions, im going to respond to
some of your comments from my video what if the world was communist
