    Vaping fluid, hydrophobic coatings

    Not sure why people keep saying microplastics. That’s been known for a long time now.

        The way that it has been positioned by the smoking industry as being better/healthier than traditional smoking.

        Wouldn’t surprise me if it turns out to be worse.

      Vaping “fluid” actually is not 100% safe which is proven, but it is 95% safer than smoking cigarettes as proven by the UK Royal college of physicians and is useful as a smoking cessation tool. I do not condone anyone to start vaping if you do not smoke, but would recommend going to a local vape shop and look at using it as a path to quit smoking if you do so already, and lower your nicotine level over time, and then quit vaping when your down to 0mg of nicotine. Disposable vapes are waste waste waste. I hate that convenience stores sell them.

      Source: worked in the industry for a decade and consider myself quite knowledgeable on ecigarettes (“vapes”) and the Eliquid (“vape fluid”) they use.
