Cause for Concern, or just Blowing Smoke?

I was just given this link by someone on social media when I was recommending e-cigarettes as a healthier alternative. Must say, this article is alarming, if it is not just more Big tobacco Propaganda. <br />

Thanks for keeping an eye out, Puff. The more eyes the better.

This has been covered in another thread, and Dr. Farsalinos has roundly panned this study and reporting. You are right in that it's pushed by either the tobacco or pharmaceutical companies.

Japanese scientists researched cars and crashed one because of faulty breaks. Newspapers concluded that it is safer to be going 200 kph in Kawasaki than 50 kph in Volvo.

That was discussed here - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/media-general-news/626784-e-cigarettes-10-times-more-cancerstuff-than-analog-says-japan-researcher.html

Simple way to describe that "research" is: Garbage in - Garbage out

Quote in the article below... What garbage!!! Vaping is all of a sudden leading cause of death in many countries? There have been zero deaths associated with vaping !!!!!!!! Yes an infant got a hold of some e-liquid and died, very sad. But vaping - nada !!

Supporters of e-cigarettes say the devices are a safer alternative to traditional tobacco, whose bouquet of toxic chemicals and gases can cause cancer, heart disease and strokes and are among the leading causes of death in many countries.
