RE: [No BS edition] Does e-Cigarette smoke cause cancer? News outlets misleading people again

in #science7 years ago

Yep, as soon as I read "e-cigarettes may be more harmful than cigarettes", I was triggered.

Every news outlet in the UK is covering how "dangerous" e-cigarettes are based on this study, completely skipping over the last part where they show they are 97% less dangerous. That's a MASSIVE DIFFERENCE.

If we consider that it often takes 20-30 years of smoking before developing a cancer, with e-cigarettes being 97% less carcinogenic, it could be that you never develop a tumour until you're 70 years old...

Ya, 97% jeez... I've never tried e-cigs, but they seem obviously better based on ingredients. I stick to greener pastures, not sure the rate of cancer for that
