Exploring E-cigarettes: Ingredients, Health Effects, and Considerations for Use

There are some mistakes due to taking information from inaccurate studies but i think it is worth reading.

Don't see anything new much in it. Same old routine that Flavors are luring children. And a few flavors are bad for you if they contain diacetyl, etc.

 

[Alphazero]

Yes...

All those articles in atsjournals are super scary

Maybe regulations of e liquid, coil quality (not some contaminated Chinese manufactured metal), temperatures can do good for us.

Yep, more of the same BS, and they refuse to put it in the proper perspective.

• Yes, some flavoring ingredients are questionable. So avoid them if you wish.
• Metals: Meh. tobacco smoke has many more.
• Ultra-fine particles: Are we gonna pretend that tobacco smoke isn't chok full of 'em?
• VOCs: They admit vape contains less VOCs than smoke.
• Formaldehyde: The only way vape contains more than smoke is if it tastes burnt and nasty.
• Acrolein: Ditto.
• TSNAs: Where are the numbers showing these are higher in vape than smoke?

Bottom line: Vaping is much less hazardous than smoking. Is it as good as quitting both? No, it probably isn't. But I think the hazards of vaping are low enough that there are other lifestyle changes that would likely be more positive for most people than quitting vaping.
