Hello everyone, Evan Dunn, the Get Fit guy here.

And the big chat this week is going to be about vaping.

Before we start, I want to stay.

I have never smoked a cigarette and I have never smoked to vape or vape to vape.

So I cannot really have a subjective opinion on this.

I can only dispassionately report the facts as they stand at this moment. As time moves forwards,

no doubt we'll have more information about vaping since it's still a relatively recent trend.

Therefore, the information I'm sharing here may change in future.

I don't know how it is where you are, but over here in the UK, it seems that there's an epidemic of vaping. Crowds of people huddled around entranceways to shops and buildings,

all puffing away on candy or fruit-flavored e-cigarettes.

Just like with smokers, I hold my breath as I pass them because, well, passive smoking's bad.

So passive vaping must be bad, right?

Well, this is what we would call an inductive argument.

Kind of like when people take a study that was done on a tadpole in outer space and say that the same things will happen to humans here on Earth.

Inductive arguments are illogical.

So should I be holding my breath when I pass vapors? And what's the deal anyway with this argument that vaping is less bad than smoking,

so it can't really be attacked? Surely if something's bad, it's just bad, and being less

bad is a weak position.

So, in case you've been blissfully unaware, you know, what is vaping? And it's marketed really as a way

to stop smoking, or at least to swap a more expensive, more harmful habit for a cheaper, less harmful

one.

E-cigarettes or vapes heat up a liquid inside into a vapour which users then breathe in.
