I thought this might be interesting, wonder how it will pan out?

1. This sounds like it's a preliminary study. What review has been done of his methodology?will discuss his early research identifying potentially harmful effects of e-cigarettes
2. Small sample size - one set of mice? As we know, the dose makes the poison. At what level(s) did he get the results? Curious, because I haven't seen the research - where is the support for the claim that acrolein posing non-cancer health risk?Conklin and his team exposed one set of mice to varying levels of e-cigarette aerosol, tobacco smoke, smokeless tobacco or to an aldehyde produced by tobacco, acrolein, which is thought to pose 80-85 percent of the non-cancer health risk of tobacco smoke.
3. Here's the bias - What is this scary sounding altering of indoor air quality he speaks of? and I believe what was found in vapor was well below toxic levels.Currently, we do not know whether e-cigarettes are harmful," Conklin said. "They do not generate smoke as do conventional cigarettes but they do generate an aerosol - the vapor - that alters indoor air quality and contains toxic aldehydes.
I'm just waiting for the correlation studies suggesting a link between vaping and lung cancer, which will of course bury the fact that all vapers studied were previously smokers...

From the article.
"Conklin will share new data showing that e-cigarettes have been shown to speed up atherosclerosis - the plaque-causing disease that leads to heart attack, stroke and peripheral arterial disease. When atherosclerosis affects the arteries of the heart, it is known as coronary artery disease, a condition that affects more than 15 million Americans and causes 500,000 deaths annually."
the leading cause of atherosclerosis.
"According to experts, atherosclerosis begins with damage to the endothelium caused by high blood pressure, smoking, or high cholesterol. That damage leads to the formation of plaque. When bad cholesterol, or LDL, crosses the damaged endothelium, the cholesterol enters the wall of the artery."
What Is Atherosclerosis?
It seems smoking is not all that bad when compared to atherosclerosis.
Smoking only accounts for 450,000 deaths a year total for all related
illness.
Time to reign in the other folks. They must be doing unhealthy thing's. Right?

Give me three rats and I'll make my own study, too.
