Let's be fair, if you take an old smoker (eg. two packs a day), and switch him to a vape, it's (most probably) a lot better for him than staying with the classic cigarettes.

The problem here is/was the advertising... clouds of smokes, bubblegum flavour and targeting the kids... so you have people who never would have started smoking in the first place, staring to vape, sometimes inhaling even more harmful substances than the old-former-smoker.
