Secondhand Exposure to Aerosols From Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems and Asthma Exacerbations Among Youth With Asthma

https://journal.chestnet.org/article/S0012-3692(18)32584-4/fulltext

This is a form of junk science.

You have this cryptic conclusion where they are trying their damndest to sucker a reporter into seeing something that's not there.

"This study documents an association between secondhand exposure to ENDS aerosols and asthma exacerbations among youth with asthma"

How in the fuck could their possibly be LESS asthma attacks in everyday vaping ("firsthand" exposure) youth than in youth with second hand exposure?

There is literally no way possible that vapor is worse to a bystander than it is to the person actually inhaling it!

There is a logical explanation to this:

1) Some youth have light asthma where they don't even need an inhaler while some youth have asthma so bad every time they walk up a flight of stairs they need an inhaler.
2) Youth who vape get a survey about vaping and asthma may overestimate the frequency of attacks.
(The survey may have been worded to cause them to believe that vaping was harmful to asthma patients which could lead to this phenomena)

If we were going by their little chart it would seem that ever, non concurrent users have BETTER results than never users.

It's almost like vaping every once in a while is BETTER for youth with asthma than never vaping at all!

Plus it's not like they even knew (or cared) if the "youth" really has asthma or not because it was part of the survey questions.
They throw in "self-reported" but which mainstream journalist do you know who actually reads the entire study and just not the abstract & conclusion?

It's shit like this that gives the entire scientific community a bad name.

These people are losing the publics trust in a hurry.
I doubt any of the scientific journals will reign in the junk science since propaganda because is so profitable.

Until a VERY LARGE group of scientists decide to have enough balls to boycott these once prestigious scientific journals things will not change. - 5150
