Vaping Emits Less Formaldehyde than Previously Thought
Story about the Gillman/Kistler aldehyde study in Motherboard. I might be accused of duplicating a thread, but the title of the story, as well as the story itself, shows that there actually are fair and objective journalists out there, and I felt that should be displayed on its own. Nice to see a positive story that helps give the whole picture of the aldehyde issue. Kaleigh Rogers has written several ecig stories and has been in general very fair in her coverage, even writing followup stories when previous ones were highly criticized by vapers. She does not smoke or vape, but she told me she believes there has been a lot of poor and biased stories published. I do wish she had included Dr. Gene Gillman's name, since he was technically the PI of the study, but I think its a very good story. The original faulty studies that burned e-liquid in CE4s, and the poor reporting in the media, were probably responsible for some vapers actually going back to smoking, and smokers continuing to smoke rather than switch. Hopefully this story will help heal the damage that was made and encourage other journalists to look deeper into the science and the context of studies.
