E cigarettes cause cancer?

[bovril]

I know that there are many myths and false claims running around, but this was just on the news.
Read this article. [url. cbsnews.com/news/e-cigarette-vapor-filled-with-cancer-causing-chemicals/]E-cigarette vapor has cancer-causing chemical formaldehyde - CBS News there are plenty more if you google it.

Now i'm worried if I should stop vaping or not. What do you guys think?

I think that life is always terminal, and that all harmful chemicals present in ecig vapor are in much lower concentration than occur when tobacco is burned. Those who want to make a case against ecigs will continue to do so, whatever the facts of the matter are.

Yes,
I feel that you are worried.

Do a bit more research and then you can be reassured of your worry or have it assuaged.

They found it only at high temperatures, none at low temperatures. The difference between a person and test equipment is that test equipment doesn't gag from a dry hit. I can't imagine anyone vaping at temperatures that would cause this. It doesn't matter how much you're turning up the voltage unless you're not wicking fast enough to keep the coil cool. Then it tastes like crap. If it tastes fine, you have nothing to worry about.

I didn't know that..thanks Rickajho

they found a chemical that can create formaldehyde after they burnt the juice to a point that makes it unvapable....

kinda like saying bullets can explode if you throw them into a camp fire

I think...

You should break the link because it's policy here that links to junk news and science stories have to be broken so they aren't cross searched to ECF.

If you had just searched one one word here - "formaldehyde" - you would have found out that this is old news and has already been debunked as junk science. ~> http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ormaldehype-junk-study-released-jan-21-a.html

That's what I think.

Moved to Media and General News. Also broke link to article of questionable news. Since it has been pointed out that we had threads that discussed the issue, quite extensively and frequently, this one is closed.

All the information you need is in the thread that has been linked by Rick. Even though it is closed, you can read all the rebuttal to the formaldehyde scare.
