AIUI ... it is not nicotine that is cancer causing, but the tar(s) and residue that gets caught and built up IN the lungs
Since I use the real thing, I don’t know about e-garettes. I thought they emitted dhmo. (Dihydrogen Monoxide) Glad cali has found that it’s as evil as See Uh O 2. :>}
I thought their big selling point was that they only emit water vapor?
California Declared a Health Threat!
Nothing much new here. Next they will make taking a cra- unhealthy due to germs. Soon we will have to register how many times a day and if more than two, you have to pay a fine for excessive unhealthy contact to bodily germs. Then they will put a meter on your flush handle and wireless connect to the shi! detail to impose fines. Damn, I’m really beginning to hate this damn Moombeam state.
California set to announce next week that living is the primary cause of dying.
“Health threat” is Democrat-speak for “not taxed to our satisfaction.”
They are not even pretending to be serious about science.
Why all the grief for these electronic cigarettes?
E-cigs have resulted in getting people off of tobacco and subsequently, has caused large losses in tax “revenue”.
As is usually the case with libtards, follow the $$$.
I have been more than 140 days without a smoke. And I could not have done it without E-cigs.
California can bite me!
” published Wednesday as a letter in the New England Journal of Medicine...
Some tank system e-cigarettes let users turn up the voltage to increase the heat ...
They measured formaldehyde hemiacetal — a compound created during the vaping process that under certain conditions can release formaldehyde — in the liquid portion of the vapor.
At low voltage the chemical was not detected. But at the high voltage setting, levels of that compound were five to 15 times greater than the amount of formaldehyde users would get from traditional cigarettes...
“They use the device in a manner that no one does,” he said.
Using the high voltage for as long as the researchers mimicked in the study “creates a burning, acrid taste” called a “dry puff” that would cause users to adjust the e-cigarette, Conley said.
What the researchers did is like leaving a steak on a grill all day — many cancer-causing substances might be formed but no one would eat such charred meat, he said.”
But California is good with butt darts and smoking weed...go figure.
How does this affect hookah lounges and “vape” lounges? Our area saw an explosion of these businesses in the last year or two.
The health argument is totally beside the point.
Liberals spent decades making people instinctively repulsed by the look of someone smoking and they weren’t going to give that up.
In New York, they banned e-cigarettes in all the same places real cigarettes are banned becuase they “look” like real cigarettes, causing “confusion and confrontation”:

“Because many of the e-cigarettes are designed to look like cigarettes and be used just like them, they can lead to confusion or confrontation,” Quinn said.
The speaker added that the ban will end what she called the re-normalization of smoking in public places, 1010 WINS’ Al Jones reported.
“It’s not the norm anymore. Very few people feel uncomfortable now saying you can’t smoke in public. We don’t want to step backwards in that,” Quinn said.”

And they are doing the same thing with guns, hence arresting or suspending elementary school children for pointing their fingers or sticks at each other.
And we think meth heads are sick!
Had ENOUGH Yet ?
San Mateo, the county just south of SF in Cali)=, banned smoking e-cigarettes in all multi-residence dwellings, (e.g., apartments and condominiums). The same asshats exempted smoking marijuana.
Might the true complaint be that the eCigs emit no tax cash to the ninny state? ;)
gotta get those tax dollars from folks who are no longer buying regular tobacco cigarettes.
