I just came across this article, claiming that even nicotine-free e-liquids contain lung-harming substances like acrolein:

What I hate about articles such as these is that they're almost always posted with some scary headline and usually end up saying there isn't a proper research into topic or they're awaiting further investigations.

Anyhow, can anyone comment on what 'acrolein' is? I've heard of formaldehyde being created when vaping on high wattage, but this is the first time I hear of acrolein.

Easiest way to show what acrolein is. Can it be produced by vaping and is it likely to be produced by vaping are two different things.

Thanks. Looks like "acrolein test" actually checks for the presence of glycerin. Which would explain finding acrolein in e-cigarette vapor even without nicotine being present.
Interesting. I'd like to see a absorption comparison for cigarette smoking vs e-liquid vaping, that would tell a lot.

I believe a lot of people would. Funding is scarce. We are to busy funding every other country in the world or next senator XXX little pet project for his/her son/daughter in law.

Dr. F probably has done some of it.

Water will kill you if you drink enough of it.

It's just more anti-vaping propaganda, pay no attention. They will never ever give up on finding petty BS to throw up to us, even if they have to make it up. Notice how they avoid comparing what we do to smoking.
