E-liquid flavorings dangerous?

Opinions?

E-cigarette flavors are toxic to white blood cells, warn scientists

 

[bombastinator]

a blog about an article that yet again attempts to conflate an at best ambiguous cell line test and imply it was both done on people and its results are much stronger than they actually are. The key word missing from the blog that is in the actual paper is a favorite for such tactics: "dose dependant"
actual research: Inflammatory and Oxidative Responses Induced by Exposure to Commonly Used e-Cigarette Flavoring Chemicals and Flavored e-Liquids without Nicotine

Cherry picked flavors. Doesn't say the chemicals, so it's safe to assume they are chemicals everyone knows (or should know by now) are risky.
Note the study does go by chemicals, diacetyl, cinnamaldehyde, acetoin, pentanedione, o-vanillin, maltol and coumarin. How long have we known about those and good vape flavoring companys take measures to avoid them?
It's not the blanket flavors, it's the chemicals some of those flavors use.

I would hate to be the one to inform them there's inhalation going on with cooking, baking and eating.

I don't get how the results of this study be used to extrapolate anything about vaping

Discussion
E-cigarettes hold the popular misconception that they have relatively less or no harm to the consumer's health in contrast to conventional combustible tobacco due to lack of sufficient evidence to prove its harmful effects.

So it's a misconception that e-cigarettes are less harmful that smoking?

Seriously?

this is the base study ,look in the "methods" chapter and tell which of those chemicals are actually used in flavoring we use

coumarin is already known to be dangerous - not vaping

Maybe I should just vape no flavor liquids. Maybe find a single flavor that is proven safe. A tasty RY4...

WE have known about and avoided all of these flavors for years. There are also the flavor makers that inform us of what chemicals their flavorings have and they may/may not be dangerous. Like TFA for example. Just another fear mongoring junk news article designed to insight fear/see how bad ecigs are.

Always thought it would provide some Perspective if when a Research Team made a Bar Graph such as this...

... that they would Include a Bar(s) next to the Control for Normalized Cell Viability for a Cigarette(s).

I Don't Dispute that some Flavorings at some Dosages can have Adverse Health effects. But without a Quantitative way to compare such Harm to the Known Harm of Smoking, it is difficult to assess just how Meaningful/Relevant something like the above Bar Graph really is?
