Note:
The Daily Mail is a British Yellow Press "Newspaper" which is usually full of scare stories, also about vaping. Fearmongering comparable to the Huffington Post in the US.

Addictive and probably carcinogenic: scientist reveals dangers of Daily Mail
While many view the Daily Mail as a harmless, recreational newspaper, a newly published study definitively absolutely 100% proves it is actually highly addictive, causes mental judgement problems and damages health

While viewed by many as a harmless newspaper read by people who just want to relax and unwind – or perhaps do some recreational experimentation with different ideologies – a new study has provided unquestionable proof that the notorious newspaper actually inflicts considerable damage on all those who read it, link to it, or even so much as look directly at it.

But the study, conducted by Professor Ineptias of The Department for Hysterical Analysis (University of Hyperbole, Hull), reveals that the Daily Mail has many serious consequences for those reading it. Some of the more devastating are detailed below.

The long term effects of this dependency are uncertain, but animal studies suggest they could be very dangerous. An experiment where rats had their cages lined with the Daily Mail for a month showed that the animals developed very concerning behaviours.

This is the most hilarious article that I have read in a long time Have fun

LOL. My favorite part:

Reading the Daily Mail has been shown to have a seriously damaging effect on people’s ability to learn new information that isn’t conveyed via hyperbole or exaggeration, or doesn’t put down another group of people in some way.

Lol, and they didn't even really get into the effects of 2nd or 3rd hand daily mail.

I lined my parrot's cage with Daily Mail, and he's spoken nothing but nonsensical gibberish ever since. If it causes this kind of cognitive impairment in avian species, can you imagine what Daily Mail does to an impressionable young human mind?

Many are just parrots as well. Although the actual parrot may have better delivery.

"Addictive and probably carcinogenic"?

Didn't The Daily Mail say the very same thing about Lady Gaga? And France?
