[0:00]Who dies first, the vape lover or the chain smoker? Day one. The chain smoker lights his tenth cigarette. His chest feels tight.
[0:07]The vape lover keeps puffing sweet vapor. No coughing yet. Month three, the smoker wakes up hacking. Lungs heavy, stairs feel steeper. The vapor feels a strange burn in his throat. He hits it again anyway. Year one, the smoker can't run anymore. His heart pounds like it's escaping. The vapor's breath shortens, sharp pain flashes in his chest. Year five, the smoker's lungs darken. Oxygen becomes harder to steal. The vapor's lungs scar quietly. The damage hides deeper. Year ten, one collapses from a failing heart. The other gasps as his lungs refuse to fill. Different smoke, different speed, same ending.
