Calgary to study e-cigarettes

[Drakos]

Calgary has implemented a motion to study the effects of electronic cigarettes and propose regulation. Calgary to study e-cigarettes with an eye to regulation - Calgary - CBC News

Hard to determine the methodology that will be used in the study. Despite the numerous studies by accredited institutions, it is quite an anomaly of how much ignorance there is.

The more study's the better, if they're conducted for Truth.

Science had already proved beyond a doubt Vapeing is a safer alternative to smoking.

Would our Government Lie, oh yeah! Would they admit it, no way.

Interpretation like taste can be subjective.

If they knew the truth no regulation or very little regulation would be required for vaporizers

I'm not saying the government would lie but I think its more likely here that the tobacco industry will make some moves to make sure the results of any study are not in favor of helping Canadians quit the old analogs that make the tobacco industry and the government so much money. Who knows though. From my experience so far there is no freakin way *ANY* study could even hint that vaporizers are either as unhealthy or worse then cigarettes. Guess we should wait and see what happens. I used to live in Calgary so I'm going to put some faith in them to NOT mess this up and actually conduct a fair study and realize... *gasp* vaping is safer then smoking

Interpretation like taste can be subjective.

Interpretation can also be influenced by people with big wallets too

Sounds to me like they're not actually doing a study. Just studying the issue, probably ask all the 'official experts', come up with a lot of junk info from all the usual sources, compile it together and, well, you know the rest...
