What is more dangerous, tobacco smoking or e-cigs?  I think we know the answer to that

Both are equally dangerous. They can both kill.

It just takes longer with e cigarettes.

 

Yes, more people die from tobacco but that is because more people smoke it and have been smoking for longer.

Ecigs helped me quit after 20+ years of smoking a pack a day. After just a few weeks on ecigs I felt much better, no more coughing and wheezing. In my experience ecigs are no worse than nicotine gum.
