Health experts think low tobacco prices, a general tolerance of smoking and changes brought by the pandemic may explain the uptick in cigarette use.
I mean it’s only going extinct because people are vaping instead, which is definitely healthier than smoking cigarettes but the nicotine addicts are still out there.
The judgement on vaping is still out. It’s not been around for long enough to know what health effects it’ll have in the long-term, but since you’re still inhaling things your lungs just aren’t made to inhale I expect that it will have a negative impact on health.

Not really. It’s not 100% yes, but it’s a pretty safe bet that it’s less harmful (as in: still bad bad but less). The reason that health advisory boards are hesitant to say that too loud it’s by no means clear that the increase of vaping is going to help society as a whole. Because vaping is unhealthy in its own but also because the addiction to nicotine that comes with it may end up turning people into smokers.

Are e-cigarettes less harmful than regular cigarettes? Yes—but that doesn’t mean e-cigarettes are safe. E-cigarette aerosol generally contains fewer toxic chemicals than the deadly mix of 7,000 chemicals in smoke from regular cigarettes.3

It’s been around for almost 20 years (first ecig came out in 2006) countless studies have been done that show it is safer then smoking. Your post is deceptive.
Is it? Because if you thought I meant “it’s better to just smoke” then you’ve misinterpreted me, I meant “neither is a good idea”. If that was ambiguous then I apologise.
Safer than smoking does not mean safe. And the tobacco industry has always published misleading studies.
