My father has COPD from over 50 years of smoking. I convinced him to switch to vaping and he's been using a Juul for a few years now. Awhile after the switch his primary care physician listened to his lungs and said they sounded a lot better. She said she because the science isn't in "I can't tell you to vape but I can tell you to keep doing what you're doing".

Should non-smokers pick up vaping? Probably not. But in this one instance it was a good move for a smoker.

I'd like to see more studies in this area and some more regulations on the "juice" for vapes. The quality, and I assume health effects, vary widely between different juices. For example: I bought him a non-refillable vape by another company and he started coughing and complaining of soreness in his throat.

I also think the arguments against the flavored juices are hysterical/hypocritical given the variety of flavors of liquor one can find.

Disclaimer: I think all drugs should be legal.
