I'm pretty sure vaporizing is completely benign as far as cilia goes.
Vapin usually doesn't eliminate all biproducts of a combustion reaction, unfortunately

But it isn't a combustion reaction, is it? Though there is heat, there is no plant matter being burned. It's heating directly up to the point of chemical vaporization and that's it. Unless I have something about vaporizing not correct, which is totally possible.

I think lungs are getting fucked up regardless of wheter a person smokes or not. The air quality nowadays especially in big cities is really bad. But like many people wrote giving your lungs a break from time to time does help. And when you start coughing up that bloody dark phelm its your body attempting to repair itself from the already present damege.

I should be a little more clear - vaporizers significantly reduce the bad things we inhale, when perfectly used. They reduce the bad things so much, that 95% of the vapor is THC. The remaining 5% may contain some bad things, among other things. That's in a Volcano, at least.

So,vaping is significantly better. Way better. Waaaay better. Especially with a Volcano.

However, not everyone has a volcano, and not everyone refrains from combusting their MJ with a vaporizer. (I know some people who vape it to the point where they start combusting it.) So that's a case where vaping may not be too great - but only because an inferior device was used, or because the vaping was done too hot.
