Malpracticing PhD shrink claims "E-cigarettes primarily emit a toxic aerosol" without proof

[xhuffer]

"According to abstract author Robert McMillen, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at Mississippi State University", exhaled vapor will kill all living carbon based units.

Straight from Medex, read it & weep: http://medicalxpress..com/news/2016-10-adults-surveyed-dont-e-cigarette-deposits.html

"E-cigarettes primarily emit a toxic aerosol, not harmless water vapor," Dr. McMillen said.

Such incredible stupidity. This creepy clown should lose his license. Assuming he has one.
Mass media is now running with this and of course none of them have asked for or questioned the existence of any actual studies. Lazy journalists being lazy. They just copy & paste.

Shame on Medexpress & UPI for posting this garbage.

I couldn't get the link to work so I Googled this dude:

Robert C. McMillen, PhD
Food and Drug Administration tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee

Now we know where the FDA gets the facts on vapor.

Oh horrors. "exhaled e-cigarette vapors contain nicotine that deposits on indoor surfaces".
How about a warning never to let children to eat pizza, since the tomato sauce contains nicotine.

Just remove the extra dot in the link.

McMillen has been campaigning to ban vapor products since 2009 (as a spokesperson and researcher for Big Pharma funded American Academy of Pediatricians) by manipulating and misrepresenting his own scientific research.

Seemed like a well balanced and accurate article to me. Banana washing line.
