New Study Claims E-Cigarette Vapor No More Dangerous Than Air

Inhaling vapor from E-cigarettes is as safe as breathing air, according to a new paper that compared two E-cigarettes with regular cigarettes and air.

Research published in Toxicology in Vitro used a combination of tests to find out whether E-cigarette vapor is harmful to people’s airways. To model the possible harmful effect of E-cigarette vapor, which contains among other things nicotine and flavorings, British American tobacco partnered with tissue engineering firm MatTek to use a smoking robot with respiratory tissue.

After six hours of exposure to tobacco smoke, cells died off but after an “aggressive and continuous” dose of vapor, the effect on airway tissue was “similar to that of air.”

“By employing a combination of a smoking robot and a lab-based test using respiratory tissue, it was possible to demonstrate the ability to induce and measure aerosol irritancy and to show that the different e-cigarette aerosols used in this study have no cytotoxic effect on human airway tissue,” said BAT spokesperson Dr Marina Murphy.

Must not have been 5 pawns ejuice in the test
Seriously though what did they vape? What wattage, etc.
And this did nothing to address possible long term effects of vaping.

They didn't consult me as far as their methodology. I didn't commission it either. So, Seriously, whine at them. Would you care to have me pass your contact information on to them? Just a few details first, Your PHD is in what exactly, and what journals are you published in?

So my analysis/questions were invalid? If not.....

 

[Robert Cromwell]

The study is pretty vague. From the study:"
After six hours of exposure to tobacco smoke, cells died off but after an “aggressive and continuous” dose of vapor, the effect on airway tissue was “similar to that of air.”

So how long was the vapor exposure?

Also this: While the authors of the study confirm the consensus view that E-cigarettes are far less harmful than regular tobacco products they say that “further studies are required to fully assess their safety for long-term use”

seems like they agree with me?

You make a convincing argument. I'll go back to smoking.

Perhaps you failed to read that I neither commisioned nor assisted in creating the methodology of this study.

Insictus oportet nocere. Double in your particular case.

If you cant play with the big boys....

Perhaps you fail to understand that I was critiquing the article not you? Or did you write it? If so so sorry...

If you are interested, the article you posted was discussed last month in this thread: New study: vaping no more toxic than breathing air | E-Cigarette Forum

Thank you Susan, I looked through this thread, medical research, and didn't see it mentioned. I didn't think to check Discussion in 'Media and General News. Has anybody obtained the actual study?
