Another vaper here, going on about 2 years now. I also "roll my own" juice, since the FDA made the laws a little too strict for the mom 'n' pop juice shops. PG, VG, food flavoring, nicotine is all that goes into my juice as well.

Used to smoke about a pack a day for almost 30 years. When I switched to the e-cigarettes, I found the following benefits:

- I don't smell like a stale ashtray (now just a mild hint of vanilla!)
- My skin stopped turning yellow (noticed by friends)
- My lungs no longer crackle when I exhale
- I no longer have that persistent cough
- I breathe easier when exercising
- My sense of taste and smell is better than it has been in years

Now I'm not going to say that these things are healthy. They haven't been studied enough yet to know all of the risks. Even if the carcinogenic effects of vaping are just as bad as smoking, though, it's hard to overlook all of the other benefits over smoking this has.

I'm sure it's not completely safe, but it sure beats cigarettes. The article is misleading in that they are only looking at a single effect known to cigarettes and ignoring all of the other hazards of tobacco use that just aren't there with vaping.
