We would need sufficient evidence to conclude it's as dangerous as smoking, which I'm not sure we have.

Also, we would need sufficient evidence to conclude that they all have the user inhale burning copper or plastic, which I'm not sure we have.



No, because that takes time, but that is my entire point. Claiming it is not as dangerous without actually knowing that is just, weird :/


It makes intuitive sense: all other things being equal, inhaling combustion products is worse than not inhaling combustion products. Thus, nicotine with combustion products is worse than nicotine without combustion products. We would need sufficient evidence to veer away from this data.
