Granny's gone and done it again

E-cigarette vapor isn’t smoke. There is no current evidence that inhaling a mixture of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine causes any kind of long-term damage. However, there may be risks in inhaling some flavorings. There are flavoring agents found in some e-liquid that have been linked to a condition known as bronchiolitis obliterans, or popcorn lung. These chemicals — diacetyl and acetyl propionyl — are probably responsible for cases of popcorn lung at some flavoring factories, where workers inhaled large quantities of the substances in powdered form.
 
Smoking wreaks havoc on the cardiovascular system. It causes the linings of the arteries to build up a waxy substance called plaque, which eventually hardens and causes atherosclerosis, a permanent hardening of the arteries. That can cause heart attacks and strokes.

Carbon monoxide in smoke reduces the blood’s ability to absorb oxygen, which forces the heart to beat harder to supply the organs. The organs themselves, including the heart, can be damaged by poor circulation. Smoke also makes blood more likely to clot, which increases the risk of negative cardiovascular events.
 
Last one:
Aside from nicotine in e-cigs temporarily increasing heart rate and blood pressure, vaping is unlikely to cause any of the damage that smoking does to the heart and circulatory system. It contains none of the toxic constituents that makes smoke so damaging to the blood vessels and organs. And vapor contains no carbon monoxide.

There may be a risk in using nicotine (discussed below) for people with heart disease. But there is no comparison between the minor risk of nicotine and the massive damage to the heart and its arteries that smoking creates. Vaping doesn’t have those risks.

I know nothing about vaping except what I saw on a news story once.
And that was that the chemicals are just as bad for you as cigs.

I've never researched it myself so I don't know if that news story was true or not.
I personally don't see what the point is in stopping one bad thing to start another.
berts thought was I can vape without the bad stuff and since it would be new , easier to quit. He is thinking strawberrys. Her argument was the same as yours.
It dont matter because I am going to do what I want . Vaping isnt one of them.That was just the start of her yelling though. It went from that to helping me around the house to him being disrespectable. After her yelling for what seemed like a long time he made the hand motion. He never raised his voice or argued back and he said sorry to her. She went out , said she was leaving , busted her knuckles on her car. came back and told him sorry but it dont matter now. He is too mad.
