A demonstration comparing what a month of vaping versus a month of smoking cigarettes does to the lungs, using a filter to show the residue. It is part of a series of similar experiments.
HN commenters send it to people who think vaping is as harmful as smoking, for its graphic comparison.

1000% agree. The whole narrative to non-stop discuss vaping as opposed to smoking is being pushed by the super powerful cigarette companies. Vaping MIGHT be harmful to a person but cigarettes are 100% CONFIRMED to be terrible for humans. Anyone who tries to tell me vaping might be worse I send them to this YouTube video: this video
Vaping is way less harmful than smoking. See e.g. the study [0] conducted by Public Health England that concludes vaping is at least 95% (!) less harmful than smoking. See also this video [1] that shows graphically the different impact it has on the lungs. [0] [LINK] [1] this video
Most the people who got sick or died was from THC related vape products, ecigs had nothing to do with it. Also, they didn't ban flavored alcohol or flavored THC products. They really need to stop being a nanny state about adults and stop use the agenda of (Think of the children!) bans. Kids (Young Adults) did start using juul, because gas stations could sell them easily, 7-11 banned those juice flavors awhile ago. The Feds banned an entire market for adults, that has nothing related to the THC vitamin E grease fiasco... Vaping is hell of a lot healthier than smoking, but of course not-smoking is best. But I hate when nanny stats bann something for political reasons, just like they are doing with trans fats (donut scare!) or cities with sugary drink taxes.
