Vaping has now become more popular than cigarettes in U.S. teens, most teens do this because they think it is safer. While this may be true, a brand new study shows that vaping can alter many genes, as well as reproductive issues in males. Also, when tested on mice, e-cig vapors that were laced with nicotine showed that it caused a build up of plaque in their arteries and blood vessels.

I agree with this article completely, not only are the problems the article states true, but inhaling water vapor is already not good for you. Your lungs are meant to inhale oxygen only, if they are expose to anything else, especially water, it is damaging to the body. E cigarettes were not and never will be a smart invention.
