Quite frankly the country should put a moratorium on vaping until the lung disease that is erupting is completely understood. Vaping needs to be regulated and the same restrictions as cigarettes.
When vaping is outlawed there will be an increase in cigarette use, but, there are options for nicotine that is safe and no affiliated with cigarettes.
I have been worried that something like this would occur. There isn't enough known about vaping for anyone to believe it is 100 percent safe.
The mechanism of vaping is not the same as cigarettes. it is not a passive process. I think it dehydrates lung tissue. I think it also adds pressure to the alveoli that it cannot withstand. Basically, I believe it is destroying lung tissue.
