Humans have been smoking tobacco and marijuana for centuries, but over the past couple of years, people have increasingly started vaporising their drug of choice instead, in an attempt to avoid some of the harmful effects of smoke. But is vaping actually any better for you than smoking? AsapSCIENCE explores the evidence in the latest episode. 

But first of all, what’s the difference between vaping and smoking, chemically speaking? When you smoke something normally, be it marijuana or tobacco, the heat from fire causes the substance to change from a solid to a vapour. In cigarettes, the vapour that’s released is nicotine, and it’s absorbed through the lungs into the blood stream, where it can stimulate your central nervous system within just 6 seconds - hence the addictive hit that smokers get. A similar process happens with marijuana, except that it’s a THC vapour being absorbed by your lungs.

The problem is that although smoking delivers your desired active ingredient super-fast, the smoke also contains partially burnt particles than can create tar in your body, trigger cancer, blacken teeth, and destroy your taste buds. You know, all those terrible things about smoking that the ads warn you about.

So in order to remove some of those negative side effects, people started vaping.This generally requires a glass or metal chamber with an electrical current running through it, which allows you to heat your desired substance to a controlled temperature to create vapour with minimal combustion. Voila, you get the cigarette high without all the smoke.

In theory, that means that vaping should be better for you because it minimises the burnt particles you're inhaling. But instead of dried tobacco, e-cigarettes use a liquid substance, which contains a base substance and occasionally flavouring in addition to nicotine. And this is where things get a little complicated, as the guys from AsapSCIENCE explain.

Research has shown that the ingredients in e-cigarettes vary widely between manufacturers and often contain chemicals that are associated with negative health effects, such as eye irritation, respiratory infections, and even irreversible lung damage. Not exactly the stuff you want to be inhaling.

So knowing that, does science find one alternative better than the other? Well... sort of. Watch the episode of AsapSCIENCE above to find out more. And remember, just because something is 'not as bad' as something else, doesn't necessarily make it safe.

Yes, but  the bus that hits me tomorrow or more so, the driver will also have problems: But that's the gamble we all take in life.

 

Just saying..........Life is a gamble m8

 

Peace & absolutely no animosity intended.

 

We all make life decisions or choices that sometimes we may regret, but after all it's really down to free choice.

 

As for clinically tested and miraculous cures re cancer  treatments etc. we all live in hope.

 

In saying that....................... I believe there is truth in what medication I take with this much maligned so called drug.

 

I call it peace and tranquillity .................

 

I hope you find that also...

 

Hey arc up a scoob or nitro that vape.................. Give it heaps

 

Stan........................OUT............End of transmission..................

Shame most of the vid is on E liquids... 

 

I am going to stay with the vape... no burnt particulate and much less carbon monoxide.

Yeah I am trying to find my Iolite. Was easy to use. Hard to find since I moved 3 years ago!

Well Brick it will be like getting a new toy when you end up finding your lolite.

 

I have not had a smoke or volcano for over 8 months now an it will be 10-11 months by the time harvest comes around for my new girls,So It's going to drill me big time the first few volcano's or oil hits from my new bong come oil rig .

The benefits for me is the stealth and second being that I don't suffer anxiety or mass coughing fits from my vape, plus I like the taste. However, I do enjoy a nice fat joint on occasions.

Oil rig for me, Volcano didn't touch the sides and a joint is good for a short head buzz, with no body, to the stone.

I find that large doses of oil taken orally, work well for depression. You build a tolerance and don't get whacked,

But you will be humming around, doing whatever, thinking really positive thoughts.

Nothing like you would think, but you need large amounts, like 1.5 grams, twice a day!

Get caught trying to grow enough is trouble.

I smoke oil riggs mainly, and need 1.5 pounds at least, every 8 weeks.

If I want to eat it at 3 gs. a day, I'd need shit loads.

I love smoking, only just does it for me though.

Obviously I need it !

Body saturation is the name of the game for me !
