There is plenty of data on what happens to a smoker when they switch to vaping.
Health improvements
Smoking causes adverse health consequences. The good news is that when you stop smoking, the toxic chemicals are no longer entering the body. This means health will improve with quitting smoking. Vaping significantly lowers these toxins.
Lung infection rates
Vaping improves chronic disease
Smoking is a risk factor for many chronic diseases because of the harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke. Switching to vaping virtually eliminates these harmful chemicals & chronic diseases improve for many. Which means they needed less pharmaceuticals.
Harm reversal
When asthmatic smokers switched to vaping: Spirometry data, airway hype-responsiveness, exacerbations and subjective signs & symptoms ALL showed improvements. Of the 8 that were still smoking, their dual mean went from of 22 cigarettes a day to 2.
Vaping is a small fraction of the risk
Smoking has over 7000 chemicals; 1500 of them we know cause diseases and 69 cause cancer. Vapour has very few constituents and all of the disease/cancer causing chemicals are virtually eliminated. This is why vaping is a fraction the risk of smoking.
Immediate improved health
We don’t know the long-term effects of vaping but we do know the long-term effects of smoking. Vaping has been mainstream for about 5-10 years without serious adverse effects. Millions of smokers have switched to vaping and reported improved health.
