So, ok, absolutely if you go through disposable vape after disposable vape, yes you are literally throwing batteries away...

But if you get a rechargeable, refillable pocket vape, which you can get for maybe the cost of two or three disposables...

Then you are just recharging a battery. Usually a much smaller (in terms of energy capacity) battery than even the crappiest phone.

Obviously you should not pick up vaping as a habit, but it is faaaar less bad for you than smoking, and if you were already addicted to smoking, well switching to a vape is healthier and less expensive.

Myself I spent almost a decade smoking, switched to a vape and my lung capacity is greatly improved, oral health is way better, oh and no more horrific coughing. I am slowly dialing down the concentration in the hopes that one day I'll be able to quit.

Before that it was years of trying to quit cigarettes, making it a week or a month with none, giving up and getting a pack, feeling like a piece of shit figuratively and literally as they'd make me sick again.

People do not seem to widely realize or appreciate that nicotine withdrawals are as bad or worse than heroin withdrawals.

Another hand grenade you can throw into this is: Sure, smoking weed has varying medicinal properties, but it also has the problem that you are smoking something.

Do you smoke your blunts through a filter?

No?

Oh, ok so thats about the same tar and particulate matter as the same amount of smoking hand rolled cigarettes.

Ive known plenty of habitual weed smokers with the traditionally tobacco associated 'smokers cough', and they would tell me that smoking MJ is actually healthy for you as they are weezing and out of breath, hacking up a lung after a flight or two of stairs.
