Compounds produced by heating some fruit-flavoured vape liquids have implications for lung and cardiovascular disease and cancer

Next they are going to say that smoking is bad.
I 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.
It’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

This really isn’t a product study. They’re just guessing how chemicals will break down under heat.
Well imagine my shock.
Wait. Smoking is bad? You think someone would have said something by now.
Vaping isn’t smoking.
Sucking foreign materials into your lungs is bad? You think someone would have said something by now.
Jesus fuck! I see why people fucking hate Lemmy. Fucking nerds
