Study on ecig second hand vapor.

[havanowoncheese]

They need to lock half a dozen ANTZ in a room of a dozen chain vapers for a week and check their blood every 24 hours as well as having them fill out a questionaire as to how they're feeling. Then they need to do the same using chain smokers. I'm sure they can find enough "for the cause" ANTZ to participate.

I will freely volunteer to be on of the chain vapers.

Lots of good points raised. What gets me is that the ANTZ still spin this so its about outdated information with the formaldehyde and antifreeze talk. The evidence even of the highly limited scope of this study still shows the science supports gaping until it gets spun. Either way when I found the article I felt it was worth consideration.

And don't forget rectal probes on the hour...

Brain surgery is a little harsh, don't you think?

I doubt there's a microscope powerful enough to find them...

What really bothers me about this is so many people that have well above room temperature IQs are just ignoring the studies that they don't like, as far as I'm concerned it just proves that they are bought off.

Don't think we would have to redo smoke tests. Just design a machine for vapor that equally simulates comparable "laboratory conditions."

Disclaimer: I am not a scientist. But I am a thinker, capable, at certain times of the day, of thinking logically about something from start to finish. And I'm knowledgeable about both cigarettes and ecigs, something I think is lacking in far too many researchers on the subject.

I have the same qualification along with the addition of staying at a Holiday Inn Express once and I call foul on all these Pharma driven :"studies".

Bumping this back to the top for an observation and to offer up some ammo. Sorry I'm late on this, but a link to Prof. Siegel's comments just rolled across my Facebook timeline.

Like Psyche, I got to wondering about the amount of nicotine in various vegetables, so I looked it up. According to this study; The Nicotine Content of Common Vegetables the amounts of nicotine are as follows:

Vegetable Nicotine in ng/g g per 1µg nicotine
Cauliflower 16.8 59.5
Eggplant 100.0 10
Potatoes 7.1 140
Green tomatoes 42.8 23.4
Ripe tomatoes 4.3 233.0
Pureed tomatoes 52.0 19.2

So, if we take the max amount of "second hand nicotine" from the study (and like others I find this doubtful since smoking machines are not mucosa) which is 6.23ug per cubic meter, or about the size of a 10 square foot room, and do some calculations, you would need to eat just 1/10 of an ounce of pureed tomatoes or 4/5 of a pound of potatoes, (approx. the size of a large baking potato) to equal the same amount of nicotine. Considering this, I'm all for following the Antz around and calling for a ban on all nicotine containing vegetables because, according to them, any amount of nicotine is eeeevil.
