They both are bad for you no matter which one you use! Smoking can cause tar to invade your body, where you have burned ashes in your lungs and digestive system. While vaping is cleaner, because it doesn’t have ashes or tar coming from it. But vaping has more nicotine in it, so it can have worse effects of your body and cause more harm!

Answer: in my opinion no! vaping is just as bad as smoking.

con; Most e-cigarettes deliver nicotine, which is highly addictive and can harm the developing brains of teens, kids and fetuses in women who vape while pregnant. Some types expose users to even more nicotine than traditional cigarettes. Research Suggests Vaping Is Bad for Your Heart and Lungs

pro; but vaping can also stop u from smoking in some ways. Vaping Is Less Harmful Than Smoking, but It’s Still Not Safe.

also their ar more CONS IN VAPING!!! do not do it mate!!

Long-term effects of smoking

Smoking has many adverse effects on the body in the long term. The CDC report that smoking:

reduces sperm count

increases the risk of pregnancy loss or congenital disabilities

increases the risk of cataracts

impairs immune system function

increases general inflammation

can cause cancer in nearly any part of the body, including the lungs, kidneys, and stomach

triggers asthma attacks

causes blockages in veins and arteries

increases the risk of stroke

reduces the overall health of a person, causing issues such as missed work and increased healthcare costs

Long-term effects of vaping

Data on the long-term effects of vaping are currently limited. According to the University of Iowa, the idea behind vaping was that it would be a safer way for smokers to get nicotine. However, most evidence suggests that this is not the case. Vaping can:

damage the lungs

release free radicals into the body, which promote cancer development

weaken the immune system

delay brain development in fetuses, children, and teenagers
