Huge Headline in large thick font:
Nicotine-induced seizures could be a side effect of vaping
Then right there in the article, the part where most of the general public are too stupid to read through:
"Between 2010 and early 2019, there have been 35 reports of seizures after e-cigarette use to the FDA and to poison control centers across the country."
MILLIONS of vapers and 35 reports of seizures in an entire decade?
Does vaping cure epilepsy now or something?
I'd bet there were 35 seizures within a mile radius of my house in the last 10 years.
Then further down in the story at a spot where at least 75% of the general public never reads to:
Michael Eriksen, the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office on Smoking and Health, put the potential risks in perspective. “It is 35 cases over 10 years. [That’s] three to five a year with millions of users. So [it’s a] one-in-a-million chance, while one out of two smokers die from smoking.”
The unintended consequence of this click bait scare headline game that these online trash sites put out is that some of the not so smart people have large followings who will believe anything they say.
