Truth - every man will have prostate cancer eventually - if he lives long enough to develop it.
vaping is a harm reduction activity - not a harm elimination activity. We don't know it's safe - we know it's safER than what we replaced with it.
Every now and again, some new big bad threat comes along. Lead in brass? Remember silica shards in the throat? Diacetyl? OK - now it's BPA plastics.
Add all of them together and we're still several orders of magnitude better off than with ol' stinkstick.
Don't forget that the FDA did a study that found diethylene glycol in e-cigs. Take initial findings with a healthy dose of skepticism, and dont sweat the small stuff.

BPA in plastics has been an issue before vaping became popular. It's synthetic estrogen..I don't see that as "small stuff." I don't take hormones, nor do I need an intake of them from manufacturing/appliance byproducts.
What does this have to do with vaping?
we are exposed to plastic all day every day, so how does vaping come into this study?
finally, we all end up the same, its the ride that's different. I intend to enjoy what mileage I have left, and with vaping I just got a few extra miles.

I agree Jim I think vaping will give us all a few more miles compared to smoking. What makes me pause on this study is the amount of BPA they gave these mice is what they consider to be the average intake among people. I'm thinking us vapers take in a little more than the average person.
What he says is the truth ^^^^^. Prostate cancer grows very slowly and you usually die from other causes before it develops. That's not to say some people don't get it but most men already have it.

Google the amount of BPA you absorb from handling US dollar bills. The population has been consuming it unknowingly for decades.
So we should not try to further eliminate the hazards, and just go all out on plastics? The BPA debate is older than vaping. So old, in fact, that the slow bureaucracy of health politics have gotten to the point where BPA plastics are getting banned for certain uses in some countries. Like for food storage and baby bottles.
We are indeed surrounded by plastics. Some might be harmless, some might not. I don't see any reason to add another potential source of harm just because we're all going to die one day anyway. For peace of mind; only glass tanks for this guy.
Inhaling diacetyl causes permanent lung damage.
From the CASAA website -
From Wikipedia -
Vaping liquids containing diacetyl is a known way to cause irreversible harm to your lungs. For vapers of buttery or custard flavors, they should make sure their vendors use diacetyl free flavorings.
I don't sweat the small stuff, but we would be fools to inhale stuff that may be even worse than cigarettes.
Why do people care so much... Yeah its not healthy at all... But many of us used to smoke... Many of us was even chain smokers...
IT DOESNT MATTER!... We're still doing better now than with the stinkies!
