Many vapers say they feel safe using e-cigarettes despite the recent outbreak of lung injuries, new survey data shows.

About 77 percent of e-cigarette users say they believe vaping is healthier than smoking cigarettes and 60 percent say it is healthier than drinking alcohol.

Shockingly, nearly 80 percent of vapers younger than age 40 say they feel safe vaping. Collin Czarnecki, lead researcher of the survey conducted by Harmony Healthcare IT [...] said the findings show that more awareness needs to be spread on the dangers of vaping, particularly for young adults.
