Secondhand vaping: The latest vaping health risk

When vaping first gained popularity, it was marketed as a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes. However, a recent surge in illnesses, hospitalizations -- and even deaths -- has shown that there may be much scarier health risks associated with e-cigarettes than we thought.

So smoking tobacco for a nicotine fix is "safer" than vaping? Can't wait for the tobacco industry to start hyping that.

It's like everything else it clearly didn't have the background checks and health reports to initially say it was safe. Money as we all know is the root to evil the prospect of $ to be made shoved any concerns and sufficient studies aside. I know having worked in the health industry for over 40 years when I saw all that smoke emitted from not only the mouth but ears and in some cases the ears, that it was alarming I thought I wonder what it is doing as it is inhaled doing to the lungs, throat and heart. Just common sense did not look good.
