Regurgitated Bullshit from 2015 just in time for the election.

Tobacco Control will lie straight to your face because of their ideology that if it "looks like smoking" it must be stopped

These Tobacco Control dinosaurs need to be lead out to pasture or put down so the new breed of tobacco control specialists that agree with the science of tobacco harm reduction can take their place and actually do something about tobacco related disease and death. - 5150

E-cigarettes are not currently regulated, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a proposed rule to include e-cigarettes under its authority to regulate certain tobacco and nicotine-containing products.

Yep, a blast from the past.

Personally, I think it's wise to avoid diketones but it's not my business decide what other people choose to do, as long as it neither picks my pocket or breaks my leg.

Researchers researching research to perpetuate bullshit via the web, without actually doing research of the subject matter.

Diacetyl was detected above the laboratory limit of detection in 39 of the flavors tested. Acetoin and 2,3-pentanedione were detected in 46 and 23 of the flavors, respectively.

So the chemicals were detected at levels above the lower limits of their equipment, that certainly tells us a lot. It says nothing about either the absolute or relative exposure risks, especially when compared with cigarettes, which contain the same substances at levels hundreds of times higher. Give us some useful information, don't just say "we detected some stuff". It sounds like someone has gotten themselves a shiny new gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer and is having way too much fun looking for things to analyze... "Hey John, put that fruit-squirts eliquid in it and I'll turn the sensitivity way up. (it goes to 11)"

More alarmist propaganda to demonize vapor products and the witch hunt continues.

In other news, scientists have confirmed formaldehyde emissions from nearly every living human being on the planet, at levels above laboratory lower limits of detection. The WHO and the CDC are currently working on measures to combat the problem, such as keeping people smoking, as well as re-normalizing smoking by increasing restrictive measures on much safer vapor products.
