- Millions of long-term smokers have developed diseases that have caused them to die early. It is well understood that these diseases are caused almost exclusively by inhaling smoke. Vapor products, commonly referred to as electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, do not burn tobacco or any other material, and so do not produce the smoke that causes smoking related diseases.
How an e-cigarette works.
Vapor products are an alternative, low-risk product.
Many use vapor products exclusively and others smoke far fewer cigarettes.
Vapor products can be effective in helping people stop smoking completely.
Best estimates suggest that e-cigarettes are at least 95% less harmful than regular cigarettes.
Vaping is a clean source of nicotine absent most of the toxic chemicals found in smoke.
No known harms to bystanders from inhaling secondhand vapor.
There is zero evidence that nicotine causes cancer.
Isn't nicotine addictive?
Vapor products are a less-risky alternative to the death and disease caused by combusted cigarettes.

A+ video presentation CasaaMedia. Thank you all for providing such straight on point facts and ease of understanding for all. A definite tool for educating and sharing.
Great video! Giving people sufficient information to make
informed personal choices and giving them the ability to act on that
information has long been an incredibly effective way to improve the state of
humanity. Too often we face the challenge of people who for whatever
ideological reasons prefer the opposite: mislead people and deny access to
products or services that could save their lives. We have seen this on alcohol,
illicit drugs, sexual health, etc. and are now seeing it on nicotine. It is
great to have groups like CASAA fighting for consumer rights, for health, and
for the currently-frighteningly-challenged principles of the Enlightenment.
Please keep it up.
Outstanding video! I started smoking in the military when I was 20 and was over all about a pack and a half a day, sometimes two. I tried quitting with the nic patches for about a year, 24mg's but also found myself smoking just as much, even while wearing the patch. A few facts the video didn't cover was for those indoor smokers, home owners or apartments, if you've ever had to clean the walls and ceilings, you know how nasty and the effort it takes, not to mention the extra heating/electric bill for those that smoke by a cracked door or window or who go outside every 20 minutes to light up. Also some smokers have a tendency to wake up during the night because there bodies crave the nicotine, I never had that problem, but I would rather fall asleep with a vape pen that has safety features rather than a lit cigg. I started using the small e-ciggs off and on for six months, roughly 3 years ago in conjunction with regular ciggs. As of two and a half years ago, just before winter, I went to the vape pens and fluid in order to stop using cigarettes in doors and to curb going outside to smoke. Even though I was saving a ton of money, I felt it was still kind of expensive, the vape pens, accessories and especially the fluid that I was buying from local mini-marts or gas stations. So two years ago I decided to upgrade to a big vape mod, it was 45$ off ebay and I started getting fluid cheaper on Amazon, who no longer sells vape fluid with nicotine. Well that was two years ago and I haven't smoked a regular cigg since. It took some getting used to and a bit of a learning experience but with a vape mod, it is so much cheaper and the parts last longer. I'm also happy to say my savings account is also showing the affects of switching to vaping. Even at just 10$ a day, after 365 days, that's quite a savings. I never thought I would see the day that I quit cigarettes all together. I highly recommend vaping to all who smoke ciggs. Thank you for that informative video.
Thank you CASAA. We need more and more of this kind of information put out there.
I don't understand why anyone would take exception to the logical and factual evidence presented here. There is not a single argument against vaping that holds any water. Even the ones they didn't mention: More kids are vaping and vaping leads to smoking. Both easily refutable by CDC studies showing lower level of new smokers than ever before. Post links to this video everywhere you can and together we can work for a healthier world.
The kids who were vaping were probably smokers to begin with.
A good presentation, well done.
Excellent summary, thank you CASAA
Thank you for paving the way so I too could quit smoking and start vaping . Just over a month for me.
A nicely done video, helps our cause immensely!
Although nicotine isn't cancerogenic, it's a known vasoconstrictor, which should've been mentioned.
Otherwise, 10/10!
A nice short, to the point video
More than 50 years with cigarettes. Lighting one was already part of my routine and I did not want to, could not stop .... Until two months ago I met Vaping. After rapid research I decided that I would change the cigarette by vaping. I received the equipment 40 days ago and immediately stopped the cigarette. Not a single cigarette. I think this must be a tremendous nightmare for cigar "industry "..... just to justify this absurdity of forbidding and marginalizing vaping. I am very happy and indignant at whoever is against without the least solid foundation.
Great work
Well It's about time ! Take that big tobacco/pharma , and you know where you can shove it !
Vamping should be used to quit smoking and stress I don’t get the reason why high schoolers do it like why is smoking considered cool?? Is it because it’s a fucking cloud?
I love the thumbs down, wonder if they were from Tobacco manufacturers lol. I don't care what the naysayers carry on about, I gave up the cancer sticks in April 2021 after 39 yrs and to many attempts to quit (Zyaban x2, Champix x3, countless hypnotherapy sessions and NRT gum,patches and sprays) thanks to Vapes and drunkenly accepted a cigarette 2 mths later and it tasted like I lit up dried up grass and puffed on it, near threw up and threw it away, never again. Vaping is the best thing I ever did in my life aside from fathering my 4 kids.
