    I got dv’d to the ninth circle of hell for saying this, some months ago. I wouldn’t have said it if my Dr hadn’t said they had the opportunity to look at deceased smoker’s lungs next to deceased vaper’s lungs. I left out that part, but still.

      The smoker lungs may have had more tar build up and scarring, you cant necessarily visually see the lead and other heavy metals from vaping on the vapers lungs, especially if those are entering the bloodstream and being distributed throughout the body.

        Doc said they were atrophied and scarred. Listen, my health is on me, everyone else’s is on them. I shared what information I have from a verified source, if people reject it, they will have to deal with any consequences, just as I will.

        I’ll trust someone with four years undergrad, four years medical education, and 3+ years of residency over random internet users.

            Because I had no proof of a conversation, but the study anyone could see for themselves

            I cited a study instead, since they could look for themselves, and people were saying it didn’t say that, and while it didn’t say it explicitly, it definitely listed findings that would lead to that conclusion, while also saying we can’t know longer term effects yet. I get it, we defend our pleasures, no need to be outright delulu though.

            For instance, I have a faith, while also admitting there’s no evidence for it, but like the general message.
