Can we get a sticky put up telling people to STOP POSTING LINKS to this study, and all the lemmings parroting the info.!
Yes, this article by some random French consumer rag has yet to actually reveal much of anything regarding their findings, and its being spread around the web like wildfire.
Every sad-sack sub-par news outlet has be regurgitating it all over the web, while still waiting to see the ACTUAL results, which by the way, you wont see unless you buy their magazine. (LOL)
The issue is, people keep linking and relinking it OVER AND OVER again on here, people underestimate how big ECF is, when a thread gets posted here it quickly heads to the top of the search engines. The members are essentially becoming their own worst enemy and spreading misinformation, just by asking about it constantly.
TL
R Use the search function.

Just thought maybe us Canucks might want to discuss it. I realize it's posted elsewhere on ECF.
Well it's all over the place. I don't really understand why pretending it doesn't exist is better than discussing the shortcoming and ramifications of the study. Isn't it a good thing to have ECF on the top of google searches?
Bah, sorry. Just disappointed guys. Thought you'd have more to say than "'delete link and hush." We can't fight misinformation with censorship.
CASAA article on the subject: CASAA: French e-cigarette study, media misrepresent facts

No, we can't, but helping to spread the misinformation due to the visibility of the board doesn't help either.
Not trying to be confrontational, just reiterating what many (Bill Godshall etc) have said about continuing to post the article/subsequent articles until we know more about the supposed "study" and its "findings".
The study "organizers" have yet to release anything worthwhile that we can actually analyze or debate/discuss so until then were basically left to debate the same talking points over and over again.
*EDIT* Also, there is no censorship happening, its being openly discussed/analyzed:

*EDIT2* I will also say that your thread title is MUCH better than the multitude of threads addressing this over the past few days.

Too good to join everyone else in Media and General News?
Personally, I'd have posted a link to the current conversation in Media and General News to encourage participation in that thread. Breaking links to junk science articles is also the RULES>

Unfortunately, this one went viral and mainstream, so breaking the links at this point doesn't really do much to suppress the Google bots from picking it up. They already have it. In spades. **sigh**
The tribe has spoken.
In my defence, the article I linked to included criticism of the study and did seem quite balanced. That and yeah, the title did not lend itself to sensationalism.

Ty OP, ECF is one of the most active forums and is on top of the google list for 1000's of threads etc.
I'll discuss any subject especially junk science. So please go ahead and cite what u think of the study?
I don't have time to go into details of what I think at moment , but shall when I'm freed up.
Again TY OP, and please join CASAA if u haven't.
Vaper for life.......

On topic (not of the article):
Perhaps an intro to the matter and a 4-5 lines of your opinion about it followed by the link would be better to spark up a discussion then just a plain link and no text at all...just sayin'
