Shocking video shows terrifying difference of what happens when you vape compared to when you smoke

A science experiment detailing the affects smoking has on your lungs will leave those who partake in the habit feeling queasy

If you're a smoker or find yourself tempted to pick up a cigarette or vape, a shocking simulation might just scare you out of the habit.

Thousands of years ago, humans first began smoking in Mesoamerica and South America, the former being the historical name for the south of the US as well as Central America.

But it wasn't until the late 17th century that it was introduced to Eurasia and was subsequently widely traded.

What our ancestors didn't know was just how bad the habit was, but in the modern age we now know the drastic consequences of tobacco addiction. Yet so many of us still smoke, and I'm not judging as I knew of the dangers when I started myself when I was 18... but at least I gave up four years later.

Anyway, YouTuber Chris Notap has carried out a test to show the terrifying difference of what happens when you vape compared to when you smoke.

To trial it, he bought two glass jars with a hole in them at the front, stuffed a load of cotton balls inside and then placed it on top of a piece felt that in turn was over some sort of machine that replicated breathing - for when the cigarettes were smoked, and vapes were vaped.

He then left them on over the course of the experiment and concluded at the end: "There's only one thing that should be going in your lungs, and that's air."

A timelapse revealed almost immediately that cigarettes left a sticky brown residue inside the dome while the vape left white clouds.

Notap explained that while it replicated smoking and vaping for an entire month, it only took three days to complete before all of the necessary cigarettes and vape liquid was puffed.

At the end of the test, the content creator revealed exactly what would be going into your lungs.

Taking apart his contraption, he emptied the cotton balls out and wiped the jars to show on a piece of tissue to show the traces that smoking and vaping leaves behind.

While the test revealed you don't want to inhale either into your lungs, the loser of the two was clear with tobacco leaving a thick brown gooey residue inside the dome.

Notap explained that vaping should only be used to wean yourself off of nicotine adding that 'anything you put in your lungs is bad for you' and stating it is not for kids to try.

Which the UK's publicly funded healthcare system, the NHS, agrees with, stating: "While vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, it is unlikely to be totally harmless."
