Time magazine e-cigarette misinformation?

[pauly walnuts]

I have read time magazine on and off all my life and ive come to expect some propagandizing(the older I get the more I see it). Many of their articles are the same old, big media, cookie cutter stance that we are blasted with on television. I also see alot of pandering to the left wing of the political circus. In recent months, I have been very disappointed with their complete lack of objectiveness.

In a recent issue, (the one with bowe bergdahl on the cover), I found a diagram explaining an e-cigarette to the masses. They made two 'hard fact' claims, that didnt sit well with me.
1. Ecigarette vapors contain formaldehyde
2. Ecigarette inhalation makes your throat lining resistant to antibiotics

Anyone else see this? Is there any truth to their seemingly biased claims?

vvvvvvvvvvv Heres the issue in question vvvvvvvvvvvv

I think the mistake was expecting Time Magazine to be objective

It's been a liberal rag for a good, long while. There is very little true objectiveness in media these days. Maybe....try PBS? Maybe.

In answer to the op's question: NO, there's no truth to those claims. Just more demonizing propaganda based on ANTZ junk science, which has been thoroughly refuted by Drs. Siegel and Farsalinos.
