Is vaping really a safer alternative to smoking? A peer-reviewed article in ScienceDirect says yes — and highlights how important it is to tell the public the truth.

📚 What the Research Shows
Published in the journal Preventive Medicine Reports, the study reviewed global evidence around e-cigarettes and their role in tobacco harm reduction.
Main findings:
- 🔥 Combustion is the killer. Cigarette smoke contains 7,000+ chemicals — many toxic and cancer-causing.
- 💨 Vaping removes the fire. E-cigarettes heat liquid, not tobacco — drastically reducing harmful exposure.
- 📉 Harm is significantly lower. Long-term health risks of vaping are far less than smoking.
🚫 Vaping ≠ Safe for Everyone
The article is clear: vaping is not “safe,” but it’s safer. That difference matters:
- ✅ Vaping is intended for adult smokers who want to quit
- ❌ It’s not for teens, never-smokers, or casual use
- 🧠 The goal is always to reduce or eventually eliminate nicotine
