Go to any fast food restaurant and watch them clean the grills, and imagine what that does to a person's gut.

I don't think anyone's arguing that vaping is better than not vaping in this thread, so your point is kind of falling on deaf ears. At some point you just have to accept that some people don't care about keeping their insides in good condition, or believe that the impact things have on their insides is not the same as they have on the environment, and let people do whatever they want with their own body.

Is that really a fair comparison though, considering the digestive system is far more robust and is supposed to be self-cleaning? Lungs can't even deal with dust kicked up by the weather as they'll fill with mucus and reduce your breathing capacity, meanwhile a stomach can process and eject even sand. I'd worry about things that challenge the delicate processes of the lungs before anything that challenges my digestive tract.
I don't think that your lungs are permanently coated in vape goo. Eventually your lungs will also clean themselves out.

It's not supposed to be a literal like-for-like comparison, more an illustration that people knowingly put things inside themselves that do them harm.
