It's pretty simple to ask any of the millions of adult smokers who have switched to nicotine vaping how they're doing. Like this (not scientific; just a social media survey).
But it borders on medical #malpractice that this is not a higher priority for the research community.

LONG THREAD: What happens when people switch from traditional cigarettes to nicotine vapes?
Does their risk of cancer, heart and/or lung disease increase or decrease? 10,000 scientific studies on e-cigarettes over the past decade. So no shortage of answers.
(1/X)
2/25
First let's set the stage. Cigarette smoking is the starting point.
Here is a breakdown of cigarette smoking-related deaths: 36% cancer; 36% cardiovascular disease; 21% lung.
Lung cancer was the first evidence cigarettes kill half of all users.
3/25
Cigarettes kill 480,000 Americans every year. They kill 8 million every year worldwide. Super bad.
Nicotine vapes are controversial. They entered the US market 18 years ago in 2007. Long enough to see the impact of product substitution on lung cancer.
Milestones in vaping history
2019: US-only outbreak of vape-related lung injuries caused by adulterated illicit THC vapes.
@CDCTobaccoFree deliberately blames this on legal nicotine vapes. Invents acronym "E-cigarette or Vaping-Related Lung Injuries" (EVALI).

(2/4)
While @CDCTobaccoFree continues to claim "EVALI" is caused by nicotine vapes ("e-cigarettes"), numerous state health departments are telling a very different story.
(3/4)
In mid- to late 2019, SOMEONE alarted local law inforcement to crack down on illicit THC vape cart dealers.
Congratulations. You have invited PAVE to tell you about the dangers of vaping. Here's a head's up on what they are going to tell you....

(2) "Middle school use is up."
#FactCheck: MISLEADING. Middle & high school nicotine vaping dropped 61% over the past 4 years. 1.9% of teens vape nicotine daily, so may be 'hooked' (down >50% in the past 4 years).
