[ibtimes.com] - PAH and PBDE danger

[acr4]

Hello fellow vapers, a friend sent me that article on potential PAH and PBDE danger of e-cigs.
Is there anyone who can shed some light on whether there's something to that or not?
Regards,

E-Cigarettes One Million Times More Harmful Than Air In Hong Kong, Chinese Study Finds

Hong Kong biology professor cannot understand the difference between mLs of e-liquid and mLs of breathing air

By Dr Farsalinos

Today I received a large number of messages about a new scary story in the media, coming from Hong Kong. The story says that e-cigarettes are “a million times” more harmful than outdoor air. I was intrigued to see what kind of a story that was, and once again I was shocked. Not only it is another story far distanced from the truth but, if the statement of an assistant professor of biology is accurately reported, it is a complete disgrace for the scientist, the department and the university.

(Dr. Farsalinos explains scientifically why the supposed results are wrong, and concludes

There are only two possibilities: either the scientists have no idea about what they are talking about, or they are deliberately misinforming the public and the regulators. Even worse, they are creating panic to vapers (the vast majority of whom are former smokers), with the risk of making them relapse to smoking. This is a typical case of gross misinformation and extremely poor science. Literally, a public health disgrace… The reporters of this “study” (not authors, because there is no published study) need to immediately apologize to the public for creating this story out of nothing.

To read Dr. Farsalinos's entire page:

Thank-you @LaraC . This is a good example of what we have to fight against. It is really important that we learn about vaping in a scientific way so that we can explain it clearly to people that don't look for the whole truth.

As these kinds of reports come out, where are the reports of doctors treating illnesses caused by using ecigs? I'm sure the CDC has a secret underground bunker staffed 24/7 frantically searching the world for such reports and they'll share them with us without delay--when there are some.
