Smoking is prohibited in public places and this is one of the many reasons that made vaporizers very useful. The harmful effects of smoking as well as the dangers with second hand smoke are minimized or eliminated because of very little smoke produced and cooler temps and less material required to reach the same effect. The gas produced by a Vaporizer is actually not a product of combustion but of vaporization. The vapor from this process contains virtually no particulate matter and reduced amount of harmful gases.

The main advantage of vaporizers from smoking is that it gives you near zero smoke and protects your lungs from carcinogenic smoke. Burning the herb produces several harmful by-products while vaporizing heats the herb to release ideal therapeutic compounds in the form of vapor. Vaporizers are also capable of extracting pure oils and ideal ingredients found in herbs especially from marijuana and salvia.
