Jakarta – Until now there is still a lot of debate about cigarettes and vaping. Some people believe that vaping is safer than cigarettes, others believe cigarettes are safer than vaping. So which one is safer? Cigarettes or vaping?
Conventional cigarettes are cigarettes that use tobacco, then burned and the rest of the combustion is inhaled.
Meanwhile, vaping is a cigarette electricity that works by transmitting nicotine electrically, then inhaling its water vapor.
E-cigarettes are known to help smokers to quit smoking slowly.
Both of them can cause disease in the respiratory tract.
However, the difference with vaping is that it is still new, further research should be done, especially on the long-term use of vaping.
But both are equally harmful to our health. Cigarettes are more dangerous, but that doesn’t mean vaping is safer.

Cigarettes and vaping as well as fruit cause lung cancer damage.
Liquid from vaping contains a lot of harmful substances that we should not breathe.
