Inhaling Tin from vaping?

[doug577]

A friend said she saw a report on the local news about vaping, and that it wasn't very good. I looked it up and found this from a local ABC affiliate. Any thoughts? Tin pellets from e-cigs?

Oh.....my.....god.

I honestly thought i had seen it all...

Did they really just say that you're inhaling tin from the solder used to "cover the wires" inside the cigarette...

This article needs to be destroyed in the comment section/via e-mail.

Also break the link please.

It appeared to be an outdated study? The study involved two brand of the "gas station" bought e-cigs that look like the analogues. Probably cheap material made in China for the coils used in those types of e-cigs. Even though the news report showed some current model vapes, the tests weren't conducted on the updated vapes. The article was pretty worthless and almost seemed to scare the public on second hand vape. Pretty disappointed with that report.

Ugh more rallying for witch hunts. To be honest, I am more concerned about the metal residue ingested from drinking out of aluminum cans. Hence I avoid them, and you still see plenty of vending machines around schools. As for the increased smoking rates....maybe that has more to do with the economy and stress kids are feeling at home. I highly doubt it has anything to do with e cigarettes

Pru Talbot & Stanton Glantz are extreme nicotine prohibitionists.

Rediculous! Using terms like "may" and "might" is just shoving your opinions down the public's throat without any science to back you up. As far as more young people smoking, that is tragic for sure. However, saying more young people are smoking cigarettes because there are personal vaporizers out there is like saying more young people are drinking alcohol because there is more iced tea out there. Complete madness!

I saw that as well, as soon as they called it an "investigative report", I knew which road they were taking. Started out with some footage from Euphoria Vapor, which is a well regarded B&M in the NE OH area. The rest of the footage was simply a re-broadcast from a segment that a San Diego affiliate did a month ago. Wonder who paid to have that trash broadcast?

I've been warned that using aluminum foil for baking causes the metal to be dissolved by heat and absorbed in my food. My current car and the previous one have aluminum alloy engine blocks and heads - so due to that logic, the engines were supposed to melt all over the road by now. OK, I've noticed an oil leak at the old one, but the garage told me that it was a bad gasket. Or they were also in that scam to make me eat aluminum?!

Using general public ignorance to push a "scientifically proven fact" is a well-known trick in the PR world.

I'm about to break out my tin foil hat for this one. Maybe it's time to add some tin foil Mickey Mouse ears to it, if this is what passes as credible news these days.

Lord save us from local news "Investigative Reporting." I live in a town with one of the best, most well respected, J-Schools in the country. You'd think the local talent would be above average, but no, not by a long shot! I refuse to watch local news. Unfortunately there are idiot politicians being influenced by this nonsense. Maybe someone local can contact the competition, the ABC or CBS affiliate, and see if they want to do a piece knocking down the NBC affiliate piece.

If you ever grill anything, then you are getting carcinogens. Whenever meat touches an open flame (or is fried), chemicals known as Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can form. These are known carcinogens. We need ABC to do an "investigative report" about this. I propose we ban all grills from being sold. Heck, let's ban meat too!

But, seriously, almost anything can kill a human. There have been known deaths from people drinking too much water in too short a period of time. On the other hand, we can't live without water. If you eat rice, then you are ingesting arsenic. The list goes on. So the question is not how much tin or nickel is in e-cig vapor, but whether the amount is harmful.
