9. It's better than smoking health wise.

It's the burning of the tobacco that creates the biggest health risk.

So if you can get a safer shot of nicotine, that's better.

I haven't seen data that really shows that vaping leads to complete abstinence, but it is cleaner and healthier.

I think the tobacco industry has greatly overstated what happens during nicotine withdrawal. It's a big boogie man, but it's really not that bad.

The major issue is the psychological addiction, not the physical one, imo.
