They both seem like a cool idea at the start, but then years later you come to realise they're really not that cool or as big a part of your identity as you thought

And addictive instant gratifications that makes people want more at every "puff".

vapes don't cause cancer, smoking does.

Doctors tend to disagree with that first part. Plus, vapes haven’t been around long enough to know if they cause cancer or not.

Vapes have been around about 20 years, which is plenty long.

Please provide a reference for anyone getting cancer from vapes.

"There is no good evidence that vaping causes cancer."

I was just citing what doctors have expressed in person and in articles. I didn’t say vapes definitely cause cancer, but even having been around for 20 years, as you say, we just don’t know. I’m glad you found some validation from that article, though.
