Strong suction could have adverse health effects. Seriously. I mean...really, seriously?

Actually, they are pretty close to the wicket. We are talking about a basic function of a necessary bodily function called breathing. Exercise promotes strong inhalation suction to provide oxygen to depleted cells. As we have discovered through empirical evidence, breathing is hazardous to your health and well-being.

It eventually kills everything that does it!

(What is the conclusion here? Cigarettes are better for your health because you don't have to suck as hard as you do on an electronic cigarette. That was pretty freakin' simple!)

Okay, I went out and looked for other writings by Anna and Monique, and it looks like most of their stuff is related to "e-cigs." I question whether they can even be unbiased. I wish I could find something about who pays or funds them. Also, it is extremely unscientific of them to simply say that the effects could be adverse. What do they mean? What are the effects? How adverse are they? What do they mean by "could be?" Why all the vagueness? I think they are a blemish on the .... of science if that's the best they can do...

If you have to suck that hard on an e-cig, then you're doing it wrong! But noooooo...couldn't possibly be user error. That would mean that the user sucks!

I love it. Give someone a lab coat and it makes them an expert. I guess that's the one thing I've been missing since I started vaping... sheesh.

Health advise from a country which still has regular (and fatal) cholera outbreaks? No thanks. Figure out how to not poop where you get your drinking water and then come back with the medical safety lectures.

This really has nothing to do with India. It was a study by a UC Riverside team headed up by Prue Talbot, the same professor of cell biology who authored more recent findings that were picked up and rehashed globally: Electronic cigarettes are unsafe and pose health risks, UC Riverside study finds | Science Blog

With the staggering expose of straw-sucking already under her belt, she tackles in her more recent studies such monumental issues as "...the design, accuracy and clarity of labeling, nicotine content, leakiness, defective parts, disposal, errors in filling orders, instruction manual quality and advertizing [sic]."

Oh, and the children, of course: "These products are clearly being marketed to young people," says Talbot: SNCJ Spotlight: States, feds grapple with fast growing e-cigarette industry - At Issue in the States

Presumably, once fundamental issues such as labeling and advertising have been fully explored, she'll gravitate outward to whatever trifles remain, such as carcinogens and the like.

Let's hope my girlfriend doesn't find out
