Symptoms reported online for years, study finds

Researchers from University of California, Riverside, collected data posted between January 2008 and July 2015 on a large e-cigarette online discussion forum. They used an automated computer tool to extract information on symptoms and disorders from seven health subforums. The tool combed through more than 41,000 posts.

The study shows the top five symptoms mentioned on the forum were headache, coughing, pain in throat, itching and malaise. The top five disorders were dehydration, asthma, pharyngitis, common cold and aptyalism, or issues with saliva secretion.

No metion of Rubberised Teeth nor Excessive Farteritis, the Terminal Trots etc though ... yet!

I wonder what discussion forum was spidered? I assume either this one or Reddit's ecig sub.

It is a shame they missed some of the better ones if they searched this site.

It does look like we were right to be suspicious of the One Hit Wonders who appeared to report their "symptoms" and then shuffled off into oblivion to no one's great regret.

I would still like to see them reporting rubber teeth on the news though, not good for vaping, but as long as we're going to have to watch misinformation, might as well get a laugh out of it!
