Is this still a harm reduction?

[VNeil]

I think both terms... ingredients and chemicals are both accurately used. The term chemical in this case is a more specific term to classify the ingredients.

Propylene Glycol is a chemical... same with vegetable glycerin... nicotine in it's liquid form would be accurately termed a chemical and it's mixed in a base of either PG/VG or both. Then there's flavorings... if you look at the ingredients of the artificial food flavorings used in most e-juice... they are pure chemical concoctions that contain no part of the source flavor they mimic. Here's a good example: http://www.johndwalsh.com/MSDS/FLAVORS/Blueberry,Artificial059100A.pdf

By your definition most of what we consume are "chemicals". Especially since most of the eliquid ingredients are commonly found in processed food....

This is not about semantics. This is about truth and accuracy. Stating vaping carries no long term risk is inaccurate.

There are two words which should be used with great care when it comes to health. Always or never. Both are rarely correct.

Please go back and quote (with post#) where I said "vaping has no long term risk". You can't. Because you, like so many others, continually misrepresent what I said... because you are unwilling to accept the truth.

What part of "there is no evidence of harm" do you not understand? It is as simple as that and no simpler.

ETA: and you, for the second time, have ignored my basic premise- that vaping is safer than ANY foods we eat. You instead misrepresent what I said to throw red herrings into your losing position.
