What is vaping, vaporizing, and atomization? And how are they different than smoking?

Vaping, vaporizing, or commonly referred to as atomizing, is a form of heating a material to the point of combusting atoms and creating atom (small particulate) vapors, and is not equivalent to smoke or smoking. The main difference is the low temperatures which occur during vaporizing the material. Smoking creates temperatures high enough to create flames and burn more plant material, thus burning more carbons which are are the most carcinogenic (harmful) substance in any smoke. An extract has already removed the majority of the plant material and already considerably lowered the potential for carcinogenics within the substance. This does not render the substance as harmless or safe but it does reduce health concerns. Now, to reduce that risk even further we like to use low temperatures that eliminate the risk of flame/fire and carbon combustion which will help keep the extract vapor as smooth and best tasting as possible. That smoothness is actually a reduction in the very carbons (carcinogenics) which are what make you cough when smoking. This is why vaporizing is so much smoother, it's actually safer than smoking, and why a vaporizing cartridge works so well, because you have control over the temperatures applied. Vaporizing extract material is the safest way to smoke, unfortunately nothing in life we do goes without inherent risk, and even vaporizing comes with certain risks, for the average person vaporizing is a safe and effective way to consume cannabis/hemp products, much more so than smoking it. Vaporizing material is how most doctors recommend consuming anything you desire to smoke.
