While vaping may be seen as a safer form of tobacco use, this belief is the result of clever marketing deliberately designed to blur the line in order to hook a new generation on tobacco.
By taking advantage of vaping’s reputation as less risky, commercial tobacco companies have successfully promoted the falsehood that vaping is a safe and clean alternative method to smoking, taking advantage of the controversary surrounding exactly how safe (or unsafe) vaping is to promote their products, just like they did with traditional cigarettes decades earlier. Shocking, right?
