BT is who is handling these cases of sickness and death?
no. But you know that already. BT is the money you were all over as being the reason behind everything. You seem to want to destroy the only institutions stopping BT from controlling everything because they are a primary target for BT to attempt to control. Destroying them would be equally helpful to BT. BT is also the only one who has been allowed (by BT of course) to release research on the subject which is the only stuff the CDC is allowed to see.
Let's just stick with the second half of the question for a minute.
why?
How certain are you that conventional mainstream
vaping products like the ones YOU have been using since at least 2010 are NOT what is causing this outbreak?
So you want me to repeat myself.
Because they didn’t for ten years. You yourself accepted that one in your statement.
Some additional background you may not have:
There were a constant stream of attacks throughout those ten years by way of shoestring minimal studies coming specifically out of Italy. Italy has a law I have been given to understand which protects the identity of those who fund and design studies allowing the effect of “push poll” research to be done. All of these attacks were weathered. Some (a few of the many) of them did produce changes in how people vaped.
The biggest, and the only one it seems now to be of any actual value one was the diacetyl scare. It was fraudulent in its very inception, but it did point to anything containing lipids or anything that could be chemically cracked into a lipid as being a potential problem. It also created the great deeming where the FDA went through and cleaned up the
juice industry. Anything containing any lipid or other harmful stuff was removed. This action incidentally separates nic ecigs from THC and CBD stuff by way of regulation and is a main reason the conflation of nic ecigs with these other groups is rejected and laughed at. They’re PROVABLY separate entities, and have been for years now.
Silica wicks were abandoned because of silicosis fears. Cotton was adopted instead. The new pods use silica wicks again. Actual silica damage was never found by anyone though. It was preemptive.
Temperature control was adopted after it was determined that it was possible to create unknown (but apparently extremely small) amounts of questionable chemicals on wicks at high temperatures. Nickel was used as a coil material. Nickel was attacked because there was a theoretical allergy issue with some people and the nickel was capable of producing bat oxides. Nickel was abandoned in favor of titanium. Titanium was attacked because it had similar but different problems. Titanium was abandoned. By that time though technology had advanced enough to do temperature control with stainless steel. Stainless steel has so far proved to be unattackable.
New pods lack temperature control.
All attacks came by way of shoestring studies out of Italy.
If you're not sure, why are you still using them?
Same as basically everyone else here. Because it’s better than dying. Vaping has never been about casual danger. It’s been about the avoidance of serious danger. Finding the LEAST dangerous route to take. Not danger free, least danger filled. Everyone here has ALREADY tried every other smoking cessation option there is and and it has failed for them. Patches, pills, sprays, etc..
I should mention at some point that BT as a concept is not solely Altria. It includes the tobacco companies owned and divested by Altria as well as a few pharmaceutical companies that produce highly profitable smoking cessation products. Galaxy Smith Kline and Jhonson &Jhonson are the two big ones. The pharmaceutical companies hate e-cigarettes because they exposed “the patch” as being fraudulent from the get-go. Patches are nothing but bandaids with unprotonated nic on them. One can make a patch for a dime if one can get ahold of nic base. They hate that. They also hate that e-cigarettes are more effective at keeping people off cigarettes than their products. They are BT too. Many anti smoking activists don’t realize this so they accept help and money from these companies, and lo and behold the efforts they finds produce actually wind up promoting smoking. Drug dealers are drug dealers.
BT has always been about money over lives. All of it. You seem to want to destroy protective agencies thus helping BT. I want to fix them and make them strong again by separating them from damage by BT.
. Some stupid doctor on TV right now is saying that if someone takes a hit off of someone's e-cigarette at a party, they should immediately go to a doctor.
