Just replace "cam" with "com".

Wow - that's a whole pile of leaps of faith - and "logic" - to connect the dots the way this guy does.

One obvious problem - at least for me - is the implication that "the nicotine did it" when trying to make a connection between nicotine intake during pregnancy and subsequent schizophrenia. What the good Mr. Chapman fails to site was how that nicotine was introduced during pregnancy - undoubtedly from smoking. Along with smoking's very own "soup" of chemicals beyond nicotine intake.

Once again - correlation does not equate to causation. (Also known as "there are lies, and there are statistics.")

BTW: I did not know we are inhaling "...a soup of vaporized flavouring and other chemicals..." Yep - no biases showing there.

And things like that...

Let's just eliminate anything that MIGHT be slightly dangerous -- or fun.

I hear that zoos are dangerous to children and gorillas, amusement parks are dangerous to alligators and children.

Water causes at least 10 deaths in the U.S. daily.

Etc. etc.

The link appears to be dead.

Nicotine in vapor is lower risk than smoking. It's challenging to write a long article about vaping when that is true and you don't want to acknowledge it.

And-- I'm not pregnant, which is a relief, because I'm a guy.

Chapman has been lying about vaping ever since he convinced Australia's government to ban the lifesaving products back in 2008.

Chapman also lobbied the Australian government to ban the sale of snus (which is also 99% less harmful than cigarette smoking) a decade earlier.

I don't see a comment section, how lucky for him.

Like our funny little Glantz, Chapman doesn't like to be told that he is lying, even when it's obvious.

If there's no place to comment then you KNOW it's someone looking after his money pile.
