More Smoke & Mirrors - Vaping may not be as safe as smokers think, research suggests

[5150sick]

Why is this in the good section you ask?
This little tidbit at the end of the story is why:

"E-cigarettes generated just 1% of the amount of free radicals in tobacco smoke, but this still posed a potential health risk, said the researchers.

“We were surprised by how high that number was, considering that e-cigarettes do not produce combustion products,” said Dr Sussan. “Granted, it’s 100 times lower than cigarette smoke, but it’s still a high number of free radicals that can potentially damage cells.”

Wait a minute! They were surprised by how high that number was?

1 fucking percent!!!

So in other words Vaping is 99% SAFER than smoking cigarettes!

I still don't see what is bad about this.

We all knew there was SOME risk involved and we thought it to be between 99% and 95% less than smoking cigarettes.

This proves that not only have we been right all along but it is actually BETTER than some have guessed.

This stories headline has nothing to do with what the story actually says!

They are banking on the fact that most people just skim the first few paragraphs.

This media scaremongering campaign needs to stop - 5150

One news cast on the radio in my area said vapers are more prone to lung viruses due to the extra moisture in the lungs we carry from vaping...When they say it causes penis shrinkage maybe ill worry.

But my penis has shrunken lately. Of course it's 8 degrees out, could be a factor.

The sad part is that some people will look at that and say wow ,or some career politician will ride it for some points in some poll . I have to wonder who paid for that research .

I have heard just about every vaper I ask say they quit getting sick when they switched to vaping.
Same thing happened with me.

Everyone who had a smokers cough doesn't anymore after switching.
So in the real world those findings are bullshit.

What they did is injected mice with different viruses and some they sprayed some of them with vapor and some they didn't.
More of the mice that were sprayed with the vapor got sick.

I don't plan on getting injected with strange viruses and i am not a mouse which makes me not concerned at all.

 

[vaperature]

they shrink??!

 

[R3alJim Shady]

Yeah, when smoker's quit they get sick, with or without vaping. It's called "withdrawal."
All that tissue that's been essentially killed by smoke is now coming back to life. Same reason why your gums bleed initially. Fucking DUH!

I'm just some dude and I know this. THIS WAS DONE BY SCIENTISTS?! FUCKING REALLY?!

Follow the money. Its all about the money. Taxes, profits and power supersede truth and the scientific method.

Exactly, we all know there is some risk involved. It's not like we are vaping broccoli.

The nice part about vaping for me is, that when i am sick, i can stop vaping 3 days because i slowly weened myself down to 3mg. i remember being sick as a dog and still needing to go outside for a smoke only to make it worse. I recover 10 times faster as a vaper then i ever did as a smoker!
