Smoke vs Vapor

Combustion releases smoke and cancer-causing carcinogens that damage your mouth, throat and lungs. In a study by NORML and MAPS, smoke contained 111 chemical compounds, but vapor contained only THC, CBD and three other trace compounds — vapor eliminates over 100 toxic gases and compounds.

This same lab study by California NORML and MAPS shows through their research that vapor eliminates over 100 toxic gases and compounds found in smoke:
