Are you ready for more good news?

«Nicotine EC brands yielded 19–93 mcg nicotine per puff compared to 147 mcg per puff for Marlboro cigarettes, and emitted 200 times less toxic aldehydes (acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and acrolein) than Marlboro cigarette smoke. Compared with the first generation EC, study ECs emitted 73% less aldehydes. Diethylene and monoethylene glycol were not detected in vapour.»

This is quite powerful because NZ legislation is one of the most hostile towards vaping.

Just for fun, let's do a simple calculation.

A PAD smoker who converts to vaping the equivalent nicotine dose, would reduce the cancerstuff to the equivalent of 20/200 = 0.1 cigarettes/day or 1 cigarette per 10 days.

Yeah but the vapor also doesn't have any tar and it smells like pancakes instead of ashy death.

check my math.
roughly 76.2 smokers per 1000 will get lung cancer.
at 200 x times safer that means .381 vapors per 1000
will get .381 of what?
mike

Or to put it in ANTZ terms 4 in 10,000 will get lung cancer. Another headline we'll be seeing soon.
