youtube vid link

Ok guys found this on youtube, scared the heck out of me especially since Ive been using mostly VG cartomizers. Does anyone have any scientific facts on the "real" dangers of e-cigs? Open for discussion lets hash this one out after you all look at the vid and think it over. Just in case the link doesnt work the youtube vid is called "Bad news for E-cig users". Lets have at it.....

YouTube - Bad news for E-cig Users

Guy already had several problems before he started using a personal vapor.
It's just a video that has made the news which I believe is just on you tube.
Another case to assist the FDA is trying to ban e-cigs.
What happen to the land of the free. Oh that was in Canada. Still the FDA will be assured to keep it safe for farther use.
If I buy a bottle of sleeping pills and take them all at once. Which would kill me I'm sure will the FDA ban sleeping pills?
I'm not going to do that but you get the point. It's my choice.

been being discussed for a while on the e-cigs in the media forum.

Look at it in detail- central to the doctors "case" is that the "oil" in ecigs caused lipoid pneumonia.

Just reading the ingredients on my liquid and...no oil. And I'm pretty sure that's accurate, cause vaporizing oil would gum up the atty something fierce. (I was a chef once- I know what vaporized oil looks like!)

In any case- the poor man had smoked for maybe four decades, and suffered from emphysema. Should not have been inhaling vapor, or anything else that can irritate. And his doc should have insisted on that.

Best,

The doctor is an idiot....nuf said.

He was very ill to begin with and then was vaping oil? Its a shame, but he was using the pv the wrong way.

 

[MickeyRat]

Pretty scant evidence and again no attempt to compare PVs to cigarettes which is the only question that matters. Cigarettes are known to be harmful. Long term data is not available for PVs but, pretty much everything in a PV is in cigarettes and many harmful things in a cigarette are not in PVs.

Hmmm, E-Cigs = 1 death in 7 years (Created by the Golden Dragon Group in 2004)
Analog's - 1 death every 8 seconds

I know the story surrounding the one so called e-cig death. This is mearly a comaparrison to show anyone taking a questionable claim as being grounds for second guessing e-cigs safety that even if it were fact it's still a heck of a lot better odds.

Old story with a couple treads devoted to it on the forum already.
Check out the Media and General News
section if you're interested in keeping track of the lousy, sloppy job the media does in covering ecigs.
Not for folks who already have high blood pressure.
