My 62 year old sister has such a severe case of COPD that she has lost nearly 100 lbs. in a year, thanks to vaping as a substitute for smoking. She looks like she’s 82, and I don’t know how much longer she has. She is so weak she can barely fix meals and has no family nearby to help.
Vaping is worse than smoking. My sister is proof.

Well, that’s a scientific study.

Your sister’s lungs are already shot. She should just go back to smoking.

She’s 82 and a lifelong smoker who switched to vape a few years ago you’re saying

I assume she already had COPD and other pulmonary issues after smoking cigarettes that long

My wife smoked Reds and Lights from 1982-2012

She switched to vaping 6mg Saffire tobacco vape juice and now 7 years later she never hacks at all and zero wheeze

And I know plenty others

I do know one young woman who switched from cigs to vape and started having more bronchitis type symptoms

Doc wasn’t sure but surmised it was the moisture smoke in her longs aggravating her lungs

I’ve paid a lot of attention to this. All of the deaths had other circumstances involved besides vaping.

Around 20 percent of the population vape tobacco or marijuana at some point

I see no proof yet it’s an endemic health issue beyond the traditional nicotine cardiac axis

I tried vaping. It turned my lungs to concrete, made my intercostal muscles ache and gave me shortness of breath. I’m a Pharm.D. and shoulda known better. Use the patch to quit...works everytime if you quit in your mind 1st.
