Vaping is significantly safer for you than smoking. Public Health England has stated that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking. The contents of cigarettes (e.g. tar, carbon monoxide, lead)  are extremely harmful to smokers and can cause many fatal illnesses. Vaping is linked to 78,000 deaths every year, according to the NHS. Also, there is no evidence that passive vaping is harmful, unlike passive smoking. So if you vape around others, they will not be harmed. Whereas, passive smoking can cause infections and long-term illnesses.
