Text and/or other creative content from Electronic cigarette was copied or moved into Usage of electronic cigarettes. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

On 28 November 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Usage of electronic cigarettes to Vaping. The result of the discussion was moved.

the "misbelief" that e-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes[edit]

This is strange that based on one single study, this article say that "thinking that e-cig are safer is a misbelief". The e-cig topic is subject to controversy, so you have to cite systematic review when available.

Conclusion 5-3. There is substantial evidence that except for nicotine, under typical conditions of use, exposure to potentially toxic substances from e-cigarettes is significantly lower compared with combustible tobacco cigarettes

vaping poses only a small fraction of the risks of smoking and switching completely from smoking to vaping conveys substantial health benefits

Usage of electronic cigarettes → Vaping – Vaping is how people commonly use ecigs Chidgk1 (talk) 13:20, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 13:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This article is horribly written, largely unmaintained, and redundant to the content that's already in electronic cigarette. I suggest that we move this to draft pending a full rewrite for brevity and concision. Vaping already redirects to electronic cigarette so there's no loss there.—S Marshall T/C 15:12, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article is over 4 years old so definitely should not be sent to draft. If it's no good, we should either edit it, merge it to electronic cigarette, or send it to WP:AfD. - Station1 (talk) 01:41, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely don't merge it to electronic cigarette, because that article already contains everything useful from this article. You're welcome to edit this content to fix it, but personally I won't be doing that because I've already spent enough hours of my life trying to fix QuackGuru's content. You're also welcome to AfD it.—S Marshall T/C 09:25, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
