After a spate of vaping-related deaths in the United States, doctors in Australia have come to the conclusion that inhaling anything else but clean air is going to fuck your lungs.

That conclusion has been backed up by researchers at the prestigious South Betoota Polytechnic School of Public Health – who published a report today into relationship between vaping, smoking and having a pair of rooted lungs.

Speaking to The Advocate this afternoon, Dr Stephanie O’Leary from South Betoota Polytechnic explained that there’s no healthy alternative to smoking.

“If you put anything into your lungs that isn’t air, it’s going to result in some irritation,” she said.

“That includes vaping. If you’re looking to quit smoking, just stop. If you really want to stop, you’ll stop. It’s a state of mind. Once you win the mental battle, the rest is easy. Smoking is gross and girls don’t think it’s cool anymore. It’s not 2005,”

“So just stop. If you’re ready to stop, convince yourself you want to. If you buy a vape, you’re lying to yourself. Vaping will kill you, we just don’t know how quickly. Maybe even faster than smoking? Only time will tell.”

The report from the South Betoota Polytechnic College School of Public Health is available from their website.

More to come.
