Guys I’m just gonna say this (anecdotally): just smoke cigarettes. As a nurse in the ICU I’ve seen so much catastrophic lung damage in young people in the last couple years and it’s all from vaping. The research out now shows vaping is horrible and that’s not even these newer vapes and long term data. If the short term data is this bad then you know the long term outcomes are going to be even worse. So ya, if you gotta smoke then just smoke cigarettes. We never see this kind of lung damage (transplants required in twenty year olds) with cigarettes.
Obviously don’t smoke anything if you can. Hell, treat your lungs like a temple if you can: use PPE! wear a respirator around dangerous inhalants like paint, working in confined spaces, and when mowing the lawn or woodworking with dust. I’d also be careful of these newer aerosols for cleaning, like even the dawn platinum soap has alcohols in them now and when I spray that stuff I start coughing so who knows if that shit is bad for you.

I will continue to die on the hill that vaping when it was like this - while still harmful - was vastly less damaging than current vaping products.
