95% has been cited for 9 years, constantly, and the study is available from a simple google search, along with many articles since then that muddy the water.
The truth will continue to be of the same spirit, though, and rather obviously: vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking.
Thank you, it was a simple ask, but you still haven't provided a source on the 95%. I understand that vaping is less harmful than cigarettes, but you put up the 95%, I shouldn't have to look up your claim.
No, I'm not the person you responded to.
But "I shouldn't have to look up your claim" is really letting yourself down. Be better. You weren't forced to look something up, you were elucidated to the fact that it was an oft-cited, elementary component of the vaping discussion, and that if you were ignorant to the concept, it was but a google search away.
Instead of educating yourself, you did the thing petulant internet trolls do and told us you felt entitled to spoon-fed basics. I don't think you are trolling, so do yourself a favor next time and take responsibility for your ignorance, and pleasure in finding out new things for yourself. Then you won't have to feel called out for being too lazy to learn, just too lazy to look at usernames.

I'm sorry it was late, I was falling asleep and didn't realize you were someone else.
