Is vaping safe?

Vaping and cancer debate

Portland State University chemistry professor David Peyton had never been attacked with such intensity.

Peyton and a group of other chemists discovered almost five years ago that e-cigarettes could sometimes produce more cancer-causing formaldehyde than regular cigarettes. Formaldehyde is produced by a chemical reaction when a regular cigarette is lit, and finding it at such high levels in e-cigarette vapor, which has been held out as a safer smoking alternative, was a surprise. The study made headlines when the New England Journal of Medicine published it in January 2015.

Douchflutitis is real.

As I recall he was attacked because his study was poorly designed. He had no clue about how the devices are actually used. It was basically an incredibly shoddy piece of research.

I've never seen one that looked anything like a dummy or use looking in any way similar to sucking a dummy.

Anything other than clean air going in to your lungs is unsafe but vaping has done wonders to get many, many, many off of cigarettes. I DGAF what others think of people vaping, if they are getting off cigarettes that can only be a good thing.

There is a very interesting podcast by the journal on the safety of vaping. Long story short its better then cigarettes if you smoking already. The issues come in with the flavors or buying vape liquid from dodge places where they add cheap chemicals to bulk up the amount of liquid. They found large quantities of vitamin E which is bad for your lungs if inhaled.

No it is not.

Where do we find that? Iceland, Antartica....?

 

[Rickster]

Been doing it for 2 years, never coughed once because of it unless it was a dry hit.

Apparently according to the label the state of California considers vaping to be carcinogenic, sure it can be considered a means to an end, the end being stopping smoking completely, but still probably less cancer-inducing than siggies but still more unhealthy than quitting altogether.

Vitamin E? That would be in the black market thc capsules not your usual nic vape.

Hands free vaping?
Jesus christ... sounds pretty badass to me.

If you vape, insurance companies now rate you as a smoker. That should say enough.

atleast theres a fire and it burns up

I am pretty sure they just want more money lol. It's not safe but much safer than cigarettes.

Yes they were talking about black market THC. But even the flavors that are sold commercially have chemicals that have not been tested by any authorities because vaping does not fit into a food or medical category.

Better than a cigar. Those make it look like you're sucking a brown dick.

Right, because insurance companies are great harbingers of knowledge and can be trusted due to their quantified and rock-solid scientific approach to reason and truth, especially in this case where they're sitting on mountains of long-term data and intricate analyses that us mere plebs are not privy to.

They're your friends, and they don't care about making money, they're there in your best interest.
