New Research Shows E-Cig Vapor Contains Similar Toxins to Outdoor Air and Human Breath - Press Release - Digital Journal

Not sure if this has been posted....

It addresses comments I made earlier on studies that should use regular exhale as a 'constant' before testing second hand vapor.

What I picked up on was the whole issue of vapers in a bar, drink onboard, having to go outside and join smokers for their "fix". I've personally never had an issue with cravings, but it is a valid point.

I find it absurd that they don't just ban cigarettes, which following their own logic on e-cigs would be a natural step, surely.

It's all messed up.

Absolutely agree total double standards ..yet again.

Just picked this up on my FB page

Aromatic hydrocarbons in second-hand vaping: our response published today in International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health

Thanks for posting this KentC! It backs dr. Nitzkin's summary, as well as Drexel and others. Way cool.

Ban cigs? That's a sensitive subject. I don't believe in throwing businesses, families, farmers, under the bus. I believe in freedom to make informed decisions. Prohibition only creates black markets.

Excellent article, thank you very much!

Thanks Kent... this was one of the bright spots of my day.

Indeed, it's choice - something we're being denied all in the name of "health" or whatever. I don't think cigarettes should be banned, I'm all for choice. The logic is weird though, they want to ban e-cigs but won't ban cigarettes even though there's studies showing smoking kills, jury is out for the mainstream on vaping (but what studies have been done suggest it's pretty safe in comparison)

As you say, it's emotive - and I'm not advocating a ban on ciggies - people should be allowed to choose. It's irritating, more than anything.

We are all on the same side here, didn't mean to throw an offhand comment out there to offend, maybe should have thought about it more prior to posting.

Live and learn, I guess

I can assure you this study will be ignored. Also it is nearly impossible to repeal an existing law. The politicians would have to admit they made a mistake.

Definitely easier to fight legislation and have its squashed before hand!

Great news! I am actually surprised this was published. I was half expecting Dr. Farsalino's letter to the editor to be suppressed.

 

[TyPie]

Great news, excellent study, and very interesting stuff!
YES, it appears that there are emerging signs of some sanity out there, if one looks hard enough!

I didn't mean to squelch your voice, I was just blaring mine out louder and stronger, (cuz I hate prohibition) and I'm so relieved that you agree about freedom of choice and that you were making an observation (valid) is all.
XXXXXXXX.s and OOOOOOOOO's.
