Anyone who tries to tell me vaping might be worse I send them to this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Pwj6BuS8Ds
Huh? Is anyone significant actually saying vaping is so harmful that you should smoke cigarettes instead?
IIRC, the actual health issue with vaping was that it had been presented as so "harmless" that, after significant long-term declines, nonsmoking teens started taking up nicotine use again in large numbers.
Keep up the good work, you're doing the reading, thinking for yourself, and questioning the lies so many people here spew uncontrollably.
That's not really an answer. Do you have an actual example?

The article mentions a second recent incident like this.
It's pretty common practice to "passively" wait for a regulator to take a questionable action on your behalf, wait the minimal recusal period, and then hire them to "work" for you for some large multiple of typical market compensation.
That's just Phillip Morris hiring a guy, it's not Phillip Morris saying vaping is safer than cigarettes so it's healthier to smoke.
Selection bias, though, and one of them claimed to be a 2-3 pack a day, for decades.
You can buy an supply of nicotine and glycol for a few hundred bucks and make your own vape juice for several years. It's healthier (So you pay less on medical bills), you pay thousands a less in taxes, and it devastates profits for cigarette companies. A lot of vested interests stand to lose a lot of money, so it's no surprise they have rolled out the anti-vaping propaganda on all fronts.
They want you to not smoke or vape.
It's not like you have to choose one or the other.
