Third-hand vapor .. causes cancer?

[doots]

The study could be totally biased. I know we have never seen this with pharmacuticlals.
I dont know. Just maybe?

Oh this is such a load of BS. Third hand smoke? Yeah, right.

It's dangerous to step outside and breath the air too.

Not to worry! Dr. Eissenberg says nicotine delivery from e-cigs is like smoking an unlit cigarette...so no "third-hand" vapor problems! Here's the thread.

Nicotine delivery system same "as puffing on an unlit cigarette," researcher says
Virginia Commonwealth University studies "no-smoke tobacco" devices
FDA has halted imports of the devices as it studies their effect on health

Washington (CNN) -- "Electronic cigarettes" that vaporize nicotine juice to inhale instead of smoke from burning tobacco do not deliver as promised, according to research at Virginia Commonwealth University.

"They are as effective at nicotine delivery as puffing on an unlit cigarette," said Dr. Thomas Eissenberg, at the school's Institute for Drug and Alcohol Studies.

Let me see if I understand the science.

According to FDA, we may get too much nicotine from electronic cigarettes and overdose. According to the UK's MPHA, we won't get enough nicotine, which will spoil our attempts to stop smoking as well as prejudice us against using their much more effective NRT products. And according to the VCU study, we aren't getting any nicotine at all.

Now, according the the Californians, I have second hand smoke lying around everywhere (guess I should get around to doing a little house-cleaning), and I am likely to go out and get a gas furnace to install in my all electric home and get cancer from the ambient nicotine reacting with the Nitrous Acid.

My father smoked. I smoked for 45 years and also had a husband smoking in the same house for 30+ years. I lived in homes with gas furnaces for half my life. Hmmm....

Actually, I died of cancer 20 years ago and my ghost is writing this.



Does that about cover it?

Definately look at this one for Jeff Steir's comment, following the article, in which he mentions electronic cigarettes.

Go rep Cliff Sterns...he's my mom's area's congressman. Guess Obama doesn't want to vape..dang

Note to self: Do not exhale vapor all day long onto a square meter of cellulite substrate, leave the material beside the gas water heater pilot overnight, and lick the surface clean in the morning. This is a potentially dangerous practice. It may result in consuming as much nitrosamines as are absorbed from a few cigarettes. The most prominent of these nitrosamines may or may not be carcinogenic.

The evil poisonous world can't get to my precious ass, I just put on a styrofoam helmet, wrapped myself in plastic wrap and moved into a giant hamster ball.

Take that death you will never find me.

OMG the helmet is now outgassing me to death!!!!
