#2I've been wondering about the safety of vaping.
Glad to see it's not as bad as smoking (a low bar) but will still kill you.

I think inhaling anything into your lungs will probably affect them negatively. But it wouldn't surprise me if vaping was healthier than LA (or Beijing) air. Everything in moderation.

Are we supposed to look negatively upon this study because they say "more research is needed"? Sounds like good science to me.

Crack cocaine, in moderation. Snorting detergent, in moderation. Inhaling strawberry-scented RCs because it's "probably" healthier than LA air - okay, in moderation.

No, according to TFA, but I don't see how that's relevant.

They don't mention immune system cells specifically, but they do say vaping is still much less harmful
> However, Public Health England advises they are much less harmful than smoking and people should not hesitate to use them as an aid to giving up cigarettes.

What annoys me, though, is that while cigarettes are banned on most public places here (in France), people tend to use e-cigarette anywhere from work (open space) to transports, restaurants, bars, etc.
If they can't stop smoking, it seems to be better for them to be "vaping", but they should stop forcing us to endure their chemicals (although I'm not sure if this can be toxic for people around - but that's more or less the point too: we don't really know what it does to our body, so it shouldn't be allowed everywhere).
We've already fought cigarettes (well, I'm an ex smoker so I shouldn't really say "we" here), we shouldn't have to start over again for another form of smoking.
