There’s been some debate between smokers for awhile now about whether vaping is better for your health than smoking.

Of course, neither options are great for your lungs, with people actually suffering near-death experiences from vapes, and others having grim side effects.

While some believe that both options bring about the same result to your health, Cancer Research UK states there’s one clear difference: “E-cigarettes don't contain cancer-causing tobacco.”

That doesn’t mean it’s totally harmless, though.

But if you can’t get away from your nicotine addiction, which one do you go for in the end?

When YouTuber Chris Notap put this theory to the test, it provided a gross insight into what goes on in your body when you vape versus when you puff on a ciggie.

Using a clear glass dome with a hole in the front, Chris explained in his video caption that he wanted to see the effects of smoking for one month.

In his opinion, after doing the experiment ‘there's only one thing that should be going in your lungs, and that's air’.

In the video you can see Chris using an inhaling machine which essentially ‘smokes’ the device and cigarettes into the dome which is filled with cotton balls.

Throughout the month's-worth of smoking, it’s easy to see that the cigs immediately begin to leave a brown, sticky residue inside of the dome while the vape leaves a white cloud.

According to Chris, the experiment took three days to complete before all of the necessary cigs and vape juice was used up.

But at the end is when you get to see the true ickiness of what’s going on inside of the lungs of those who smoke.

Chris first took apart the contraption, emptying the cotton balls and wiping out the domes to show on a piece of kitchen paper, the difference in residue left in the ‘lung’.

While the cigarette experiment was a tar-like brown, the vape side was clear, with condensation running down the sides of the dome.

The other thing he tested was the tube, which exhaled all of the smoke.

The smoker’s side was, again, brown and he managed to remove a decent amount of tar from it.

The vaper’s tube was clear, but it showed minor discolouration from the smoking.

While it’s clear that smoking tobacco is more harmful than vaping, Chris noted that vaping should only be used as a tool to wean yourself off nicotine altogether because 'anything you put in your lungs is bad for you' and that it’s not for kids to try.

The NHS also agrees with this sentiment, stating that: “While vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, it is unlikely to be totally harmless.

“The healthiest option is not to smoke or vape. So, if you are vaping to quit smoking, you should aim to eventually stop vaping too.”

People in the comments of the video were equally grossed out, and some even vowed to quit smoking then and there.

One person wrote: “I’m 39 years old and have smoked since I was 14, Sir you just scared some sense into me. Thank you!”

Another said: “I’ve smoked way to long. Recently I’ve been cutting back and want to stop smoking. Now I WILL stop!! Now!!”

Someone else commented: “Imagine the smell when he takes the lids off...”

So, it looks like the experiment was successful in educating others to the dangers of smoking and vaping.
