  • from the source I sendt up there

    “In particular, an outbreak of E-Cigarette and Vaping-Associated Lung Illness (EVALI) brought the short-term respiratory consequences of vaping into question, especially if cannabis or THC-containing products are used[4]”

    https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa1916433 - this is the source they point to (i.e. [4])

    I enjoy lotsa unhealthy foods and stuff myself, but on my path to quitting nicotine I did vape - and quit it due to concerning research. carcinogens as in cigarettes (and weed) is well understood. Vaping is not.

    anyways! I’ll finish responding now 😅 so enjoy your stuff! just be careful spreading misleading numbers like that 95%, it’s blatantaly false.



  • no, I think you misunderstand your source.

    it says that the chemicals are not yet (in 2015) known to cause any harm. the big thing with vaping chemicals (as pointed out in my sources) is that you heat it up a lot and inhale it.

    therefore the way these chemicals are used in vaping is very different than in food, and present different risks. so the research into vaping is it’s own risk.

    If you really think your source is “quality over quantity” then please do read it again, and look at the dates of the studies ❤️

    one of mine is a so-called cumulativte study that looks over a lot of studies to find broad trends, and that one points out that it is for certain dangerous.

    back in the day tobacco companies said that smoking cigarettes was not harmful. they even funded research into saying that. I’d be sceptical of companies and the narrative that they profit from.
