"According to the study, researchers found that 3 in 10 e-cigarettes contain levels of formaldehyde and acrolein that are nearly equal to levels found in standard cigarettes ."

Study says e-cigarettes contain carcinogens similar to regular cigarettes

This article goes on and on to claim that e-cigarettes can be just as bad for your health ect ect. Yet there is no link to the actual study and there are no names given of any brands that are supposedly known for using carcinogens in their e-cigarettes. Can anyone find this study online or...?

Herm, don't use juice from China? That's something of a funny if your an old timer around here. I wouldn't worry to much about studies, numbers don't lie and all that but you can make numbers = anything ya want.

There will ALWAYS be folks who are so anti smoking, they will rabidly go after anything that even appears to be said such. Take the studies with a grain of salt. Learn to read ingredients on bottles. Take a deep breath, and remember, if it was THAT dangerous, ECF wouldn't be the Goliath it is. Thousands of us here. All of us have heard the "studies" and seen the debunks of the studies. Look around, hit CASA good info on that thread.

vape ON!

They also keep forgetting to mention the TWO BIGGEST chemicals that AREN'T in vaping as compared to cigarette smoking

TAR and Carbon Monoxide...anywhere from 4-15x as much in each cigarette as there is in vaping to nicotine...

nicotine is just like any other chemical stimulant...too much and it WILL KILL YOU...just like coffee
TAR and Carbon Monoxide...that's what gets ya

Like your linky ;)

Yeah, they source a study that they never cite! I went through the whole article chain (the articles just go on to site another article), and it eventually becomes French. I speak French....there is no study posted. But what I could gather from the original article. The sample size was 12. Just 12. No 0s.

I call B.S. on this.

This is ancient history, based on flawed data, that is from a report years old, that is scientifically unsound. And this is about the fifth time today this has been horked up on ECF. I have no idea why this is getting regurgitated all over again.

Because Yahoo ran an article on it today, on their home page. Apparently there was some recent French study. Well....I've yet to actually find the study.

That's around here from a few days ago. I'll try to find the thread on it. Someone on the other side of the pond chimed in and said the "report" was run in a French newspaper that makes the National Enquirer look the the WSJ.

folks, every major news broadcast in NY/NJ has carried this today, I for one would certainly like the specifics of the study, and why it's being taken seriously.

No one here, regardless of their credentials, can claim with absolute certainty that vaping is totally safe long term. That can only be determined via large, multi-year studies. Look how long it took with tobacco.

The reality is that we just don't know yet.
