Basically, breathing in any kind of particulates is bad for you, and very fine particles (like smoke/vapor) can pass through cell walls and interact with your proteins resulting in transcription errors during cellular reproduction. For instance, asbestos fibers can tangle with and damage chromosomes [2]. The more often you do it, and the more volume you expose your lung tissue to, the higher the odds that something will go catastrophically wrong.
I don’t think the distinction is relevant… Either way we’re talking about particulates that are small and light enough to be airborne, be breathed into the lungs, and to interact with lung tissue such that some of the chemicals are absorbed into the bloodstream (which is how you get the drugs from the vape into your body).

Vapes don’t actually produce vapor. They atomize the liquid, basically like how an essential oil diffuser functions.
