I was referring to that. It's not germane to the subjects of e-cigs, tobacco or nicotine which are the subjects of this thread.

But it is germane to my point that this is a "scare headline". I thought my point was simple enough that it didn't need to be spelled out. The headline is designed to make it appear that nicotine is dangerous to cancer patients. However, the actual study reveals nothing about whether nicotine is dangerous to cancer patients. My point about other chemicals is that it is likely that they could recreate that exact same study with a host of chemicals that are considered safe and/or healthy, and achieve the same results. I say "likely", because anything that has even a marginal effect on cell growth has the potential to affect the growth rate of cancer, at least in an in vitro experiment.

My comment was not about "the subjects of e-cigs, tobacco or nicotine which are the subjects of this thread." My comment was strictly about that study, and the reporting of it.
