Articles that are annoying me grrrrr

[Vwls]

Can someone contact this author and educate him? His articles are really aggravating me.

Here he says nicotine is a "cancer-promoting agent [] associated with birth defects and developmental disorders." He also repeats the lie that e-cigs are being marketed to young people and claims that people are not successfully quitting cigarettes using e-cigs.

Here he again asserts that nicotine in the body is cancer causing without bothering to qualify, or give any pertinent detail.

What is this guy's readership, anyone know? He is really doing a disservice to people looking to quit smoking. And doing it with bits and pieces of "science" tossed in to make it all sound palatable.

Or spew what they want other people to think because it benefits them in some underhanded way.

click bait, nothing more

Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it. Someone should smack him upside the head with a few facts...and a ripe tomatoe.

the second article was written on July 07, 2011 ... and there is only one comment, lol, it says ... it's been 2 years... any news?

Took the liberty of googling the authors of these oh-so-scientific articles - a novelist, also writing about nutrition and failed jokes writer for jay leno. An astronomer. And a staff writer that doesn't even have any publications of note to his credit.

Great.

Maybe I should start writing about quantum physics, or come up with some evidence that the earth is flat...

 

[WindyCityJoe]

Just a couple writers with too much time on there hands because they're not very good at what they do.
