Thanks for posting.
From what I’ve seen, vaping is not politically correct/acceptable so the facts be damned.
Just imagine, if you could, if the various COVID “vaccines” were held to the same medical reporting standard that vaping was.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that the vaccines are mandatory for a lot of people, but vaping isn’t mandatory to anyone?
The invective and insanity directed against vaping were hard for me to understand, until I realized the tobacco companies and the government stand to lose billions in revenue if vaping were substituted for smoking.
Tobacco BAD. Marijuana GOOOD! What would you rather have your airline pilot smoke? A cigar or a joint?
As I write this, I’m sucking on a berry flavored vape. Yum.
I tried the best on the market and I always felt vapes were harsher to me than even the strongest cigarette.
Even though technically not smoke, it felt “off” and felt bad the next day. I stuck to natural/organic cigs and never had decline in lung function
Working in a high school.... What I see is the extreme personality problems that come from the addiction. Irritability, addictive behavior (including keeping their juul in their crotch and passing their crotch juul around to other kids).
But to be fair, without 2-3 cups in the morning, I’m not the friendliest either.
Having smoked pot for 40 years including 20 of great Mendocino stuff - started vaping about 4 years ago and it is much stronger and more concentrated. Am not surprised there will be new problems with e-cigs and vaping.
This report does not mean that vaping is now okay. It means this particular study is bad. I fail to see how filling one’s lungs with glycerol can do anything but harm them.
Smoking nicotine is bad because it introduces large quantities of nicotinic acid, an essential ingredient in the Krebs cellular energy cycle. Well guess what. Glycerol is just another essential ingredient in the Krebs cycle.
After a lifetime of trying to stop smoking, hypnosis multiple times, patches, cold turkey. I had mild breathing issues from smoking so I tried e-cigarettes eleven years ago. My breathing function is normal, I do not cough, I do not smell, they saved my life. About a year ago I started seeing another doctor and during a routine exam, he asked if I ever smoked to which I gave him my history but noted that I do vape. Expecting a smack down he said, “god bless you, they have been a life saver for many people”.
My son switched from smoking to vaping about 12 years ago. Over time, he reduced the nicotine level to nearly zero then quit entirely about 5 years ago. Not sure that he could have stopped smoking tobacco were it not for vaping.
Back to the criminal FDA. They did a ‘study’ of e-cigs a decade ago. Created ‘smoking machines’ and tested a cigarette against several vaping devices. They didn’t find any trace of the 1000+ harmful chemicals given off by cigarettes from the vape devices, except for device cleaning chemicals. Most interesting is that the chemicals so toxic they are warned against on every pack of cigarettes, tar, was not mentioned at all in the FDA report. There is no tar produced from e-cigs. How did the FDA miss that?
