And published in a respectable medical journal. This is the kind of work that needs to be done and disseminated in place of the junk science that always makes the news.
Too bad the US news media, won't report these type of studies.
That is true as disseminating information to the public is important. However, dissemination in a mainstream, well respected, peer reviewed medical journal does a lot to influence physicians who read it. Every time a physician can recommend vaping as an alternative to smoking undermines the whole "e cigs are the spawn of Hell" regulators want folks to believe. It also provides that much more ammunition to show the FDA making healthcare policy not based on available evidence.
Is it enough? No. But it's not only a step in the right direction.It's showing mainstream healthcare evaluation of e cigs is considered a valid scientific issue worthy of further study. The more real researchers jump on board, the more available evidence will grow until denial will appear as irrational as Bowling Green.
UPI did carry this - naturally the ALA had to weigh in with their garbage:
E-cigarettes may be less toxic than tobacco, study suggests
See how easy it is to turn a study to match your agenda.
Notice how Lion Shahab is not once referred to as Dr, when the scaremonger is, right from his first mention.
That's what I would have done if I weren't at work at the time.
The other day one of my Facebook friends had posted a negative meme about vaping. Then someone commented about vaping making you gay. My response was, "If vaping makes you gay, consider me Nathan Lane."
I'm a man, and I can change, if I have to, I guess.
Well, I wasted a bit of my time reading through quite a few of the comments which brought me to the conclusion:
Isn't it rather interesting that so many "people" hellbent on wiping out smoking are apparently devastated by a method used to successfully achieve their original demand?

My thoughts exactly !!!! Darned if you do, darned if you don't. They aren't happy unless they have something to wring their hands over.
