RE: Vaping potentially as harmful as tobacco cigarettes? - A study by chemists at the University of Connecticut

in #health7 years ago

hey thanks for the input. I'm not sure myself what to believe. I however will do my best to lower the nicotine and gradually move it down to 0%.

I've added the source for nixklick's anekdote: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/e-cigarettes-around-95-less-harmful-than-tobacco-estimates-landmark-review

It's however an article from 2 years ago.

Sort:  

Ingredients in E-cigs haven't changed until now, so I'd say the credibility of that source hasn't changed. Also thanks for searching up the source I've mentioned. If you want some more input on this topic I could write a whole post about it because I learned so much about vaping since I've started.

Also many people argue, that the moisture from the e-cigs isn't good for your lungs, which is also BS, because your lungs are wet all the time and even if the liquids would add moisture to your lungs, they have several mechanisms to get rid of too much moisture. Thats something I heard many times, when arguing that vaping is a healthier alternative.

If you want a more recent study then you should check out the following by Cancer Research in the UK
