Do you know what vape means? Are you familiar with someone who partakes in this habit? Vaping is the term for using e-cigarettes as an alternative to actual smoking.
What is your opinion of using e-cigarettes? Do you feel they are harmful to your health? Are they really safer than smoking?

Yes, I do wonder about how many are really helped by switching to Vaping?

Never smoke and no one I associate with does so don't know much about it. I have read that vaping is no safer than smoking though.

From one non-smoker to another you are correct in what you read. There are harmful chemicals in e-cigs.

I guess we could say it is the lesser of two evils

I vape but I used it to quit smoking rather
than becoming glued to the e-cig! Some of my
friends seem to be permanently attached to their
vape device! I just pick it up have a puff then put
it away for a while.
I vape less than I smoked and I've reduced the
strength so I'm happy with it for now but I do
intend to quit completely.

@dgobucks226 I think too many just
replace one addiction with another!

@dgobucks226 I can honestly say this
has been the easiest way to quit for me!
I did start with the highest possible
nicotine e-liquid. and work down gradually
though!
Tried everything in the past from gum to
patches but never had any success!

Well, you have better will power than your friends. It would be advisable to quit altogether since it is addictive and contains harmful chemicals.

I used to smoke but never did I want to try vape because I feel that it is time consuming when you fix it and second for hygienic reasons.

Yes, vaping is not a cure for the harmful effects of smoking.

Vaping is pretty simple.
You just use this cool-looking apparatus called the trick tank, in which you fill the liquid which is commonly called e-liquid. Now, the e-liquid is heated to form aerosols which generate a lot of smoke. The liquid is made up of nicotine, glycol, and other variants. There are different recipes which could be created based on the proportion of ingredients and flavorings.
It has turned into a niche of its own and the industry is blooming. Vaping has turned out to be a habit which I developed while trying to curb my addiction to smoking. If you're inhaling something to your lungs, it's messed up and harmful but certainly safer than smoking.
In Canada, we have multiple ejuice wholesale stores from various vendors. People are constantly experimenting and new recipes (and flavors) are being introduced to the market. I have a personal favorite, check them out and you'll get an idea of what it's like.

@dgobucks226 That pretty much sums up what I wanted to convey.

I spent over a year vaping. I love it, but won't go back to it until they solve the popcorn lung and exploding battery problems.
