Question: is vaping worse than smoking?

Smoking cigarettes exposes you to a bunch of nasty chemicals such as tar that have negative health impacts beyond the addictive qualities of nicotine. Vaping is still relatively new so I’m not sure if there have been any major studies on its impact relative to smoking. Sure you aren’t exposed to tars etc. but there are other chemicals in the vaping fluid plus it’s easier to do in public so it doesn’t necessarily cut down on your exposure to nicotine. Both are a bad idea!
