This article was insightful for me. And chilling as to actions under consideration in the face of what is clearly blind and willful ignorance.

Willful disinformation.

The issue is in part I suspect because the flavoring industry has serious truth and safety problems due mostly to the “natural” food laws.

Flavorings are used in tiny tiny quantities though. There are much more dangerous things used in much larger quantities that are at issue here. Like lipid based “thickeners” that are not even used in nic e-cigarettes, the only thing they seem to actually have any interest in banning.

This is NOT I suspect where the problem actually is. This is not to say that a flavoring might not also cause a long term problem. The problems the CDC are looking at though are NOT long term. They are very fast acting and accuse.

Still working. Copy from both lines and then remove all spaces or line feeds (don't overlook the space before "-u-s-officials-investigating...").

Why would you do that? There’s no reason to break links here. In any case That sort of editing on a link is not as far as I can find so far even possible on my phone. I’m gonna try to open it in a quote reply to see if I can make it happen.

Update: nope. Still broken after I tried you directions. Perhaps just post the actual link sans weirdness?

So you feel that scientificamerican is junk pseudoscience. That’s...unusual.

So you’re saying the ONLY part to remove is the carriage return and the space. Correct? Testing...

Ok. That worked.

There are a few serious problems:
It does say that all e-cigarettes are pods (wrong) and it references 2016 data but doesn’t talk about the FDA deeming that removed diacetyl. It also doesn’t mention that cigarettes contains hundreds of times more diacetyl than e-cigarettes ever did and it was not found to be an issue. There were OTHER things found to be issues in cigarettes but that wasn’t one of them
