Is Vaping Safer Than Smoking? Here’s What Experts Say
For many smokers in the Philippines, vaping has become a popular alternative. But one common question remains: Is vaping really safer than smoking? Let’s break down what health experts and studies say, and how switching to vaping could be a smarter move — especially if you’re trying to quit cigarettes.
🔥 The Problem with Smoking
Cigarettes contain over 7,000 harmful chemicals, many of which are known to cause cancer, heart disease, stroke, and lung conditions. The danger comes not just from nicotine, but from the tar and toxins created when tobacco burns.
💨 What Makes Vaping Different?
Vaping devices heat a liquid (called e-liquid or vape juice) to produce vapor — no burning, no smoke. Most e-liquids contain nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and flavorings.
The absence of combustion means fewer harmful chemicals are produced compared to smoking. According to Public Health England (UK), vaping is estimated to be at least 95% less harmful than smoking.
📢 What Health Experts Say
-
World Health Organization (WHO): Vaping is not risk-free but is likely less harmful than cigarettes.
-
American Heart Association: Supports vaping as a harm-reduction option for adult smokers who haven’t been able to quit by other means.
-
Public Health England: Recommends vaping as a safer alternative and a tool for smoking cessation.
⚠️ Vaping Is Not for Everyone
While vaping is a better option than smoking, it’s not intended for non-smokers, minors (under 18), or pregnant women. It still contains nicotine, which is addictive. The goal should be to reduce nicotine dependency over time, if possible.
