    Propylene glycol was observed to cause nose bleeding even at very low concentrations (In Air) compared to vaping (0.2% against 10%). It is not the nicotine nor the flavorings.

    A Little Paranoid

    Some things never change. Cigarettes have hundreds of chemicals(That is pure B.s., btw. That list was permitted chemicals.Cigarettes would taste awful if manufacturers add all those chemicals at the max permissible dosage ). Tobacco doesn't cause cancer (Forget about tsna and polonium stuff)...

    A Glantzing Blow to Science

    My quick observations: German study and Diskin, et al. study appear to be entirely different. There is no way a comparison can be made.One measures air space pollutants and the other measures breath.Also breath measurements are not correlated with time of esmoking.

    New ACSH publication - Helping Smokers Quit: The Science Behind Tobacco Harm Reduction

    Makes sense.It appears bloggers dont have the same limitations. Other than snus there is enough data worldwide to show that smokeless tobacco has much higher(About 7 times) risk for oral cancer,While snus has consistently shown not contributing to oral cancer.It is also true that smokeless...

    New ACSH publication - Helping Smokers Quit: The Science Behind Tobacco Harm Reduction

    Why do i ask?.Perhaps to put things in perspective. I was going through some US smokeless tobacco company websites.None of them seems to share the enthusiasm of Mr Bradu on smokeless tobacco. Here is one such website.Smokeless Use & Health Issues - U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company It...

    The misinformed teaching our youth

    percentage wise,yes. It is not assumption on MY part.I provided the relevant data.Again this has no bearing on harm inflicted by cigarette smoking.Ejuice vapor doesnt have many of the harmful ingredients of cigarette smoke.Ejuice chemistry is entirely different.The only thing common is...

    “Study finds e-cigarettes affect airways, and quickly”

    “Study finds e-cigarettes affect airways, and quickly”

    I am afraid that is how scientific investigations are reported.When you have some short term effects that mimic actual cigarette smoking the researcher can warn about potential longterm effects. That could be quite correct.The report should be useful for people who think ecigs are absolutely...
