[xpl0it]

More steam for the anti-vaping movement: A French consumer magazine, National Consumer Institute, reported Monday that e-cigarettes contain "a significant quantity of carcinogenic molecules" in their vapor that have so far gone undetected.

This story (and several others) are popping up all over the web and their all based on this "special" study performed by the French consumer reporting group. I'm sure we'll see more of these over the next few days citing the same source, unfortunately.

"Have, so far, gone undetected." That's because it doesn't exist. It's hard to detect something that doesn't exist! Propaganda

BTW, "carcinogenic molecules"? Never heard that term before. Can anyone explain it to this non-sciency type?

Channel 2 wgrz in Western New York just ran coverage of this story.

A new
Answers all the point in this propaganda piece. I bet the study never turns out to say what the mag says it dose but it helps the cause with the EU and the French Ministers anti ecig stance.

It's a freakin' tabloid. And since when do magazines do "scientific" studies? Oh, and the sample size was 12.

Is the URL listed above. You'll notice the 'tt' in 'http' was replaced with 'xx' and there is a space placed in between the and week.

Here is another example for you....

If you search using the heading of the URL above you'll also find the ECF thread linked in Google even though the URL is broken as directed.

Regardles of weather or not these "studies" hold any weight, once they hit the media they are reported as "the truth".

Just yesterday the guys on the morning talk show I listen to on the radio cited the BS french study and were reporting it as if it were gospel.
