They just won't quit...

The linked article says nothing about cigarettes in the sky is falling title but if you read on you will see this nice little tidbit:

The Stanford study sheds new light on just how problematic the mix could be. Participants who used cigarettes and e-cigarettes in the previous 30 days were also almost five times more likely to experience COVID-19 symptoms like coughing, fever, tiredness and difficulty breathing.

A study yet it doesn't make the distinction between vaping and smoking, how is this science?

Also if you know anything about kids vaping (and to a lesser extent smoking) they share their devices quite often which lends to the spread of COVID-19. So of course this age group which is already at a higher risk due to social activities will be more likely to get the virus thus experience symptoms.

My, aren't they funny.

Vaping can cause underlying conditions such as Asthma, that's clearly in error. As you either have Asthma or not, and I have a mild form and have no real issues vaping as a form of Nicotine replacement. At least it's somewhat significantly better than smoking.

There's no understanding of how Virri work at all, as what makes you the most succeptable to infection more is genetic compatability with a Virus.

Also younger age demographics are more likely to engage in high risk behaviours or behaviours that increase risk, it's a well documented fact.

Juul and the likes are yet again not mentioned, as that has a lot of importance in the reporting of facts. As a vaping product with an excessive amount of proprietary salt nicotine blend at an excessive level that was available from gas stations and many other sources, not specifically a specailised vaping vendor.

And they have the gall to yet again cry think of the children. There's so many other industries and things that are of more detriment and more easily accessible to children but they're okay to not highlight.

Mc Donalds and childhood obesity comes to mind quite easily, but there's so much more.

From today's Nothing About Us. Without Us. thread post.

Stanford Study Finds No Association Between Exclusive Vaping & Positive COVID-19 Diagnosis - American Vaping Association

BUT ANTI-VAPING RESEARCHERS ARE USING PSEUDOSCIENCE TO GENERATE HEADLINES
...
“If we are to believe these results have real-world implications, then we must believe that exclusively smoking or vaping poses no additional COVID-19 risks, but using both products greatly increases your risk. Furthermore, having ever used an e-cigarette in your life increases your COVID-19 risks, but having only vaped in the last 30 days does not. This is all scientifically illogical and no serious health academic would draw conclusions from such contradictory data.

“It is remarkable that this online survey pseudoscience is being hyped up by the media when large, properly performed studies are finding results on smoking and COVID-19 that are completely contrary to the narrative being pushed by campaigners.

Everybody involved with dissing on ecigs know they are lying. They public health people lie so we do what they say. Lots of others justify their lying as protecting kids. The silent supporters are dependent on fundin that will decline if tobacco taxes decline (public education, medicacl research, etc.) I would reform the police and save the defunding for FDA and CDC.
