Hashem Al-Ghaili Facebook Anti-Ecig Video

[rwoodin]

Just FYI. In perusing tonight I came across a video made by a very popular facebook personality. It claims a new study shows that e-cigs have high levels of heavy metals contamination. I quickly googled the same type of study for regular cigs and as always, they have hundreds to thousands of times more of Ni, Cr, Pb, Mn and posted that as initial refutation. Also, the study is funded by (in part) Institute of Global tobacco Control, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA

Please call out the big guns on this, Hashem has millions of viewers...

I read an opinion piece by this guy talking about how science was losing its credibility, how scientists commit fraud for continued grants etc.
I guess he knows what he is talking about.

Thanks all. I really didn't have time to do a lot of research, so I pilfered from your collective comments.

MUCH appreciated!
