This information needs to be passed on to all government officials and health officials who continue to claim vaping is as bad as or worse than smoking cigarettes. This is 100% irrefutable proof that that is just outright bull....!!!!

Here is a document with the information on what is in cigarette smoke, this document doesn't even list all of the chemicals in cigarette smoke because there are over FOUR THOUSAND chemicals in cigarette smoke:

Here is a document that lists ALL of the chemicals in the vapor produced by vaping. Yes, it lists ALL of the chemicals because there are only TWELVE!!!!

Analysis of the electronic cigarette liquid used in the study : Nicotine absorption from electronic cigarette use: comparison between first and new-generation devices : Scientific Reports : Nature Publishing Group

Now, while cigarettes and vaping do contain some of the same chemicals, it has been proven that vaping contains up to 95% less and even LESS than 95% of these chemicals. For instance, arsenic. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a provisional guideline value of 10 µg/litre (µg is millionth parts so 10 millionths parts per litre) for arsenic in drinking-water as the practical quantification limit.

It has been determined that there is 2.4 micrograms/ml of arsenic in one pack of cigarettes. That's 2400 nanograms per ml. In the document on vaping you will see that there is only 35 nanograms of arsenic in vapor. So cigarettes contain 68.6 times more arsenic than vapor. Now 35 ng/ml is equal to 0.035 µg/litre and 2400 ng/ml equals 2.4 µg/litre. So basically.... Based on the WHO's own summations.... vaping is even safer than drinking water!!!!

Here's another scientific article comparing smoking to vaping.

Nicotine absorption from electronic cigarette use: comparison between first and new-generation devices : Scientific Reports : Nature Publishing Group

Our politicians and health professionals who are trying to stop people from using vaping to quit smoking, or saying vaping is as bad as or worse than smoking, need to pull their heads out of their asses and start looking at the proven facts!!!!!

Don't you know that using the "Its about health thing" is, pardon the pun, a smoke screen? Its all about taxes. Vaping costs the government, depending on where you live, hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars a day. Yes, thats A DAY. Every day, 365 days a year.

All this anti vaping propaganda is just a foundation to build a strong case to tax us up the wazoo in the future.

You would be better served to get this message out to the people who vote. The politicians and health organizations could care less about the truth, and they surely do not want to see scientific proof of the truth. Like Thrasher said, they only care about your vote, as long as the wool can be pulled over the sheepish masses, they will do what they want.
