    Vaping is actually very helpful and it’s probably helped a lot of people stop smoking.

    Being marginally less unhelpful than some other very unhelpful thing is still objectively unhelpful.

      Marginally is a massive understatement. Maybe in 50 years we’re going to discover that it causes some crazy side effects, but in comparison to smoking it’s like having a hamburger once a week compared to three a day.

          For someone who is a smoker and otherwise would not be able to quit its helpfulness as immensely positive.

            For every smoker vaping helps, it also tempts probably at least one person to start using who didn’t before. Therefore, it is 1000% indisputably negative and everybody trying to make excuses for it is a goddamn enabler.
