Well, people who would have smoked because it's cool to be bad... might actually save their lives by vaping e-cigs, because it's badder :p

It's almost like massive companies don't want to lose millions of dollars when people stop using their product before it kills them, weird. Good thing we live in a Democracy, where the masses are smart enough to see past propaganda and make their own informed decisions instead of being brainwashed through social media.... {sigh}

Is that holy grail of democracy with all of those brilliant masses to be found in Chicago? Who would have thought that Rahmbo created such utopia?

Luckily it's everywhere, my friend. But only in America, unless we have freed their country
"Good thing we live in a Democracy, where the masses are smart enough to see past propaganda and make their own informed decisions instead of being brainwashed through social media.... {sigh}"

So, you were serious that we live in a democracy and that the masses see past propaganda? This is an inquiry not an invite to argue.

I was literally about to post about things like this that people keep tagging me in on FB. This is one of the many reasons I'm deleting mine later this month, after I make sure I have other contact info for people. I'm sick of going around and finding links to studies and the like and trying to educate people who refuse to believe or accept anything that contradicts the fear mongering they like to listen to and spread.

It's just people who are ignorant. I never trust journalists (who have zero scientific background) to provide me information on scientific studies. I go directly to the source and read THE ACTUAL STUDY myself.

Basically, it is true if you overheat an e-cig and intake dry, burnt hits that you are getting more fomaldeyhe than a regular cig. However, there's two problems with this:

1) No one actually does this

2) Cigarettes STILL have more carcinogens. This study was only about formaldehyde. So even if we all took dry, burnt hits all day long, analogs STILL have MORE carcinogens.

The authors of this study (actual scientists who did the experiments) said themselves that their work has been taken out of context and that they DO NOT believe the data prove that e-cigs are more dangerous than analogs. They said "that is not our position." Of course the journalists ignore this because they want more hits.
