I'm sharing these 10 online surveys with permission. Assume they may be biased because we, in the #VapeFam, self-select in (we had positive experiences switched from smoking to nicotine vapes). Still very interesting!

93% of nicotine vapers say their health has improved. 
90% of nicotine vapers say they have fewer and less severe lung infections (consistent with peer-reviewed research).

89% of asthmatic smokers experienced improved symptoms, and almost half said they no longer need an inhaler (consistent with peer-reviewed research).

88% of smokers who switched to nicotine vapes say their dentist has told them that their teeth and gums are healthier.
The average vape shop claims it helps 8-10 smokers quit every month. Before the war on vaping really ramped up, and before #COVID19, there were 10,000 vape shops in the USA. This may explain why US cigarette sales dropped 7% in 2019.
Even before the pandemic hit, 30% of respondents said their local vape shop had gone out of business within the past 6 months (likely due to ecig taxes and/or fears about lung injuries that were CLEARLY caused by bootleg THC vapes, but blamed on nicotine vapes).
24% of nicotine vapers said they would relapse to smoking if nicotine vapes ("e-cigarettes") are banned where they live (as San Francisco has done, and as nearly 40 countries have done).
Nicotine vape 'flavors' are 2.3 times more effective for smoking cessation than tobacco flavor. Duh.

12% of adult vapers said they would relapse to smoking if 'flavors' are banned (in the US, that would be >500,000 new smokers). A win for big tobacco.

>35 scientific & public health organizations have official public statements: E-cigarettes are safer than smoking.

70% of respondents know a vaper who relapsed to smoking, or a smoker who won't quit with ecigs, because of anti-vaping misinformation.

Finally, 41% of vapers claim they quit smoking βby accident.β This seems high. But as @ChaunceyGardner says, "no smoker ever quit-by-accident with a nicotine patch." Nicotine vapes may help the 30% of smokers who donβt want to quit.
