Why it worked

Summary

This video explains the invention of the e-cigarette by Hon Lik in 2007 as an alternative to traditional cigarettes, motivated by his father's death from lung cancer. It highlights that the dangers of smoking come from tar and chemicals, not just nicotine, and that vaping delivers nicotine via vapor without burning tobacco. The video concludes by noting that new studies link long-term vaping to lung damage and cancer, emphasizing that neither smoking nor vaping is healthy.
