What the Heck is in French ECigs?!?!

[S1LV3R]

This has got to be the worst article ive ever read about ecigs.

http:// www. dailymail.co.uk/health/ article-2402108/E-cigarettes-harmful-cigarettes-cause-cancer-claims-study.html

'In three models out of ten the levels of the carcinogenic compound formaldehyde come close to those of a conventional cigarette.

'The highly toxic molecule acrolein was also detected in the vapours of e-cigarettes, sometimes at levels even higher than in traditional cigarettes.'

Either this article is highly skewed or they have some new fangled way of testing that no one else in the world has ever used or seen. ...?!?!?

Well if it's French... they are to cigarettes as Charlton Heston is to rifles.
Out of their cold. Dead. Hands. *fistshake*

My best guess is they didn't take enough steps to protect against confounding variables in testing. Say, like, washing the cigarette tar off of their own hands before testing.

maybe there E-cig just is a cigarette that has a battery that lights the cig for you. I cannot see why anyone would put formaldehyde in there E-cig

So, this "article" doesn't post a link to the "study" and all of the other articles it points to are of near naked politicians and celebrities...

Nice internet rag.

Sorry for the font issues in the OP. Copy and pasting from the article was making it whacky!!

Im gonna go with the research is heavily skewed due to some "good ole boys" club member REALLY wanting ecigs banned. With politics, theres always an agenda.

I know Jef, but with anything. The naysayers will grasp this and believe every word cuz they "read it on the internet" Hence why REAL proof and education needs to be in the forefront of our minds to combat stupidity like this!!

Formaldehyde is a possible decomposition product of PG. Acrolein is a possible decomposition product of VG. If they're seeing either in significant quantities I suspect they're overheating the e-liquid.

What do you mean by possible?

What do you mean by possible?

You're not necessarily going to see it, it depends on the temperature. The power, draw length, air flow, etc. could all have an effect. Maybe some flavorings could catalyse these reactions.

Odd, I can't seem to find a pdf of the study anywhere.

Hence why im saying its skewed if it even exists at all. Total crap if you ask me.

You are not supposed to light the juice on fire. They are doing it wrong.

 

[Orobas]

I was going to say something about snail flavor juice but it turns out to be a serious thread. Carry on.

Oh i know Oomee. Its a junk rag. But as i stated before, the masses that read that garbage will take it as gospel and spew the BS from the high heavens thinking its fact. Like so many mainstream media outlets do!!

Moved from General E-Smoking Discussion to Media and General News.

Here's mention of the study: French Magazine Does its own Sciencing, Claims Carcinogens

Note that the study was done by a French consumer magazine, as reported by France24 news. hxxp://www. france24. com/en/20130826-electronic-cigarettes-carcinogenic-french-report (broken link)

Sounds like it's a French version of Consumer Reports. Not sure I'd place much trust in a consumer magazine's "scientific research." But hey, c'est la vie, plus ca change and so on...

 

[djtonyb]

I'm sure they were using cartomizers, and burned 3 of them. I wonder what chemicals you get from burnt polyfill?

 

[AgentAnia]

The study claims to have employed an innovative method in detecting “a significant quantity of carcinogenic molecules” in the vapour of the cigarettes which, according to Laurenceau, have thus far gone undetected

Ooohhh an "innovative" method. Well isnt that just convenient they are the only ones to possess this new fangled machinery.... my fat patootie!!!
