, but as research continues, experts believe that to be false: Vaping is really bad for you.

But with vapes, you just keep going, and it’s much harder to know how many puffs you’ve had,” he explained. “It’s much easier to vape continuously because you can do it in places where smoking might be less acceptable.”
