Vape research is almost always terrible quality. Practically every study uses temperatures completely intolerable and unrealistic, they don't reflect ordinary use. That's not to say vaping is healthier than not vaping, but it obvious to see it's far safer than smoking
18Yeah, this study was basically just guessing how various chemicals break down under heat. The fact that they reference the EVALI bullshit tells me the study can be safely ignored.

Next they are going to say that smoking is bad.
14I suppose from a harm reduction standpoint the big question is: has vaping dropped chronic disease that has been traditionally linked to tobacco products or is it equally or more dangerous than traditional tobacco products? If it's reducing mortality and disease, then that's a good thing overall even it still poses some risk to long term health. Obviously you don't want to use traditional tobacco products or vape products if you want a healthy cardiovascular system.
6It's absolutely not as dangerous as smoking.
Also, nicotine alone has heart positive effects.

I'm always wary of studies about products, but at least in this case the funding is governmental instead of private

6This really isn't a product study. They're just guessing how chemicals will break down under heat.

Well imagine my shock.
2Vapers and for that matter all tobacco users in this day and age are typically really poorly thought-out scum.
