By the 20th century, science started realising that tobacco’s mind-altering effects were due to its content of nicotine. Further, science realised that tobacco smoke has many toxins and causes lung cancer and many other ailments. Thus, health experts started recommending to quit smoking. Nicotine free vaping is one of the good and healthier ways to quit smoking. Studies show that nicotine vaping is better than chewables to quit smoking.[2]

Although nicotine vaping is quite safe, it is not entirely safe. It still has many adverse effects.

Similarly, smoking weed/marijuana/cannabis is quite harmful – it’s an activity that is still largely illegal, except in a few nations where recreational cannabis use is legal. However, CBD, though extracted from cannabis, is quite a different thing. It is safe, does not cause euphoria, and has many health benefits. Thus, CBD vaping is popular and legal in the UK, the US, and most EU nations.

Of course, there are some ill effects of CBD, too. CBD causes a decline in blood pressure and is bad for hormonal health. It may even cause gastrointestinal distress. However, it is worth noticing that none of these side effects occur at commonly consumed or vaped dosages. These effects occur at much higher dosages, like a few thousand milligrams. Hence, it would be correct to say that CBD’s adverse effects are considerably exaggerated.[6]
