While the study is encouraging, The title of your thread does not accurately reflect the actual results of the study. BTW - this study was not without bias. (Bankrolled by Vapers) It is not conclusive! Not trying to throw water on your fire. We all are hoping for positive study results. However, adjusting your verbiage to infer a more positive conclusion does not change the facts.

It's more of the social calamity it brings when people see some "smoke" coming out of a device. How can people tell if the device that's producing smoke isn't some kind of illegal drug? Big corporate isn't gonna let their precious tobacco industry to fall apart, real conclusive studies are going to get criticized to the ground by tobacco companies.

The industry trying to squash e-cigarettes are the drug companies and their paid shills - health groups like the American Lung Association - not the tobacco companies. The tobacco companies are getting into selling e-cigarettes, so they would not criticize positive studies.

Actually unless the document is incorrectly written out, their findings specifically report that there is little risk to personal health from use, AND second hand vapor.

I see the verbiage you are interpreting and unfortunately it is inaccurate and poorly written. The study was only on the emissions - second hand vapor. In other words they only tested the air quality in the room. There's no way this is proof it is totally safe for the person who is inhaling it firsthand. To do that, they would need a lot more long term study, setting baselines for body functions and testing and comparing over time.
