New Report, E-Cigarette Safety

[Exchaner]

Conventional knowledge indicates E-Cigs are safer than cigarettes, but the question is by how much. This new report from the University College London Team attempts to discuss the subject.

BBC News - E-cigarette criticisms 'alarmist' say researchers

While the team researchers are generally in favor of vaping, they nevertheless admit that additional research is needed to asses its long term health effects. They therefore still recommend some degree of regulation.

It is assuring to know that the information comes from a university, not from an expert on the payroll of special interests. But then again even learning institutions are often sponsored by special interests.

That was a decent read, but it still drives me insane every time I read the phrase "little hard data" in reference to e-cigarettes. Little hard data that backs what naysayers believe perhaps.

In the real world, we can not get everyone to agree to the exact same thing. I personally would not want to see it that way.

True, but that's not quite the same thing as willfully ignoring facts.

EDIT: This article was well written. It just bothers me that all of the real science is suppressed and hidden/ignored.

well that article was a nice refreshing voice of reason for a change

Read a few of their stories, they seemed amazingly balanced and fair compared to the stories we usually see on the subject.

This is what the e-cig market needs, unbiased research from accredited universities from around the globe which don't have any sort of agenda.
Even if it comes to light that they are worse than we think now, if its an unbiased opinion from multiple sources then so be it.
I really cant ever see it being as bad as cigarettes though, but I am not a Biologist or Chemist.

What I would like to see is:

"CVS with its new anti-tobacco stance becomes one of the first large retail chains to fully embrace the potential health benefits of ecigarettes and is pushing to classify them as a smoking cessation tool alongside nicotine gum and patches."

Would someone hurry up and die from their e-cig so they can have their "hard data"?

Oh, that's right - NOT POSSIBLE.
