    That would be false marketing, then. The reason why vapes are much less unhealthy (still unhealthy and wouldn’t recommend them for anything except temporary use to quit smoking) than cigarettes is that they DON’T contain tobacco!

      There’s a big difference between “heated” and “burnt” tobacco. Same as with weed vaporization vs smoking, vaporization is much healthier compared to inhaling burnt plant material.

        True, but e-juice still isn’t and doesn’t contain tobacco, is my point.

        The ad might be for another kind of vape that DOES use tobacco, which would still be MUCH more unhealthy than e-juice even without the burning.

      That ad doesn’t make any health claims tho. Or am I missing context here?

        You’re right, I’m just disspelling a common misconception about regular vapes and including why it’s significant.
