A simple demonstration using cotton balls to visually compare the residue left by tobacco smoke versus e-cigarette vapor.
Here is what's going into your body after Vaping for a month VS Smoking Tobacco Cigarettes for a month! There's only one thing that should be going in your lungs, and that's air! ● same experiment Smoking Just One Cigarette .... youtu.be/YS02MCx9f2c ● same experiment Smoking 1 Pack of Cigarettes .... youtu.be/AQwIDiL8gOM ● same experiment Smoking 30 Packs of Cigarettes .... youtu.be/HD__r66sFjk ---------- EXPLANATION of the test ------------ * The one and only reason to vape is to help get you off of smoking deadly cigarettes. * Anything you put in your lungs is bad for you. If you smoke deadly cigarettes, start vaping, then eventually throw away vape. * Scientists and experts agree vaping has a 95% harm reduction over smoking. There's still that 5% of unknown harm though. That's why you shouldn't just start vaping if you don't smoke cigarettes. * Vaping is a cessation device (a thing to help you stop smoking) to get you off of smoking deadly cigarettes. If you don't smoke, don't vape. * The smoke was not held. Exhale hose clearly shown. * if all the smoke had been blown back through the cotton, like real smoking, the results would have been even worse! * The machine smoked/vaped each one at the same pace. * Each cigarette was smoked 3/4 of the way to reflect real world smoking allowing a quarter of it to just burn away while talking or thinking. * It took 3 days for the machine to smoke all of the cigarettes and 3 days for the vape. * The chamber was cleared of smoke/cloud between each and every cigarette/vape allowing air to enter. * Scenes were sped up and time lapsed to be able to see the visual change in colour occur. * The black stuff is called tar. Heavy accumulation of tar in the hoses showed up after only 10 packs. Tar from the next 20 packs overflowed and got sucked into the pump. It eventually ruined the pump. * Lungs DO self clean to take care of dust and debris from normal breathing in the environment. They weren't meant to be overwhelmed on an hourly basis by smoke from a burning object for life. * The smell inside the smoking dome at the end was vile. I felt quite ill afterwards. Can't imagine how a smoker feels on a daily basis. * the button for vape was held for 4-6 seconds each time. The coils did not burn. The tank was never allowed to get low to allow burning. * People ask if I smoke or vape. I do not vape and have never smoked. * the average vape user vapes 60 - 120ml per month (vape company data) a total of 120ml of vape juice was vaped for this video. The average smoker smokes a pack a day. 30 packs were smoked for this video. * the vape liquid had 6mg of nicotine * the vapour cloud and cigarette smoke was constantly being exhaled through the exhale tube. * I used 2 identical vape pens and used two .5 ohm coils for the whole experiment. * quitting smoking is the best option. Second best option is to vape instead of smoking then eventually throw away vaping. * 7What people say. Recommended as a clear visual demonstration of the reduced physical residue of vaping compared to smoking cigarettes.
