The current vape options cause more damage, strangely.

I see so many more people at this these days. They seem to think it’s cool. Bring back tobacco in pipes.

The Nanny State Totalitarians are always at it. They never stop. The need to control every second of everyone's life. Leave us alone. In the famous words of Ann Landers: MYOB.

“Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) users have greater lung inflammation than cigarette smokers...”

Hard to believe, but maybe so. I wonder how the cancer risks (vs. just inflammation) compare?

[RedMonqey]

I wonder if the study differentiated between oil based products or water based products.

I don’t smoke but have friends and family who do.

You never know what shit is in the vapes.

For a while they were putting Vitamin E in them. That was killing people as it clogged the little sacks in the lungs.

I loved it when my dad smoked his pipe with cherry tobacco. Fond memory.

Obesity is a killer yet is considered body positivity. But by all means, ban vaping.

[Recompennation]

Nothing like the aroma of a pipe being smoked, second hands get to enjoy too.

I never understood the point of smoking not to mention it’s disgusting and smells. I grew up with parents that smoked during supper and a dad that would put his cigarettes out in whatever he was done eating.

So that had a big effect on wanting to smoke...🤢🤮

In his later years Rush Limbaugh was vaping. Maybe this killed him. Plus in many circumstances nicotine is a cancer accelerator. No matter where that cancer or pre-cancer might be in your body.

Yes Rush still smoked cigars. But gave up cigarettes for vaping for his nicotine fix.

Lol, more incredible “science”.

[Pollard]

Safe and Effective

I no longer trust the science or experts or any study. Look at the farce that were studies for HCQ or Ivermectin for COVID.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Not likely. Not likely at all.

All prior claims I have analyzed on e-cigarettes being worse than cigarettes have been found to be highly erroneous and biased.

This is likely the same fraud.

[Jeff Chandler]

When we were teens we thought that smoking cigarettes would make us look cool — and it did!

[GrannyAnn]

Agreed, this study was probably done by big tobacco.
I don’t believe much of anything anymore.

“Cigars, Cigarettes, Tiperillos, Bongs, E-Cigs, or Nico-Patch?

[BipolarBob]

Bring back tobacco in pipes.

Like I'm going to listen to medical advice from theses quacks when they also support the gene therapy injections.

Efficacy of Nicotine in Preventing COVID-19 Infection

Daily active smokers are infrequent among outpatients or hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Several arguments suggest that nicotine is responsible for this protective effect via the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR).
Nicotine may inhibit the penetration and spread of the virus and have a prophylactic effect in COVID-19 infection.

SCREW THEM!
