    Vaping and coffee are both less likely to kill you than their alternatives

    Seems like it’s not about traditional vs modern

      Yep, that’s why vapes so heavily promoted. Who cares if you get lead poisoning and are stupid if you die later and can work longer.

        Vapes have lead? I thought they were concerned about the aerosolized polyethylene glycol.

          Vapes work by vaporising the liquid using a metal (usually leaded) coil (Edit: which heats up and cools down rapidly and many times). While cigarettes also contain lead (like everything else), it isn’t nearly as bad.
