You really think I believe you wrote "the link"?

I suspect you're trying to use sarcasm to prove a point. It's not valid. "Spreading missinformation" is not "authoring missinformation".

Did you get a chance to read the article I posted? What were your thoughts?

Abstract
PURPOSE:
Electronic cigarettes are growing in popularity, but the physiological consequences of vaporized nicotine are unknown.
METHODS:
Twenty healthy non-smokers inhaled vaporized nicotine and placebo (randomized).
RESULTS:
Nicotine inhalation was associated with higher arterial pressures in the seated position, and increased arterial pressures in the head-up positions with no other effects on autonomic control.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our results show that vaporized nicotine inhalation is not innocuous. Longitudinal studies in otherwise healthy non-smokers should be conducted.

Abstract
Electronic cigarettes (E-cigs) have experienced sharp increases in popularity over the past five years due to many factors, including aggressive marketing, increased restrictions on conventional cigarettes, and a perception that E-cigs are healthy alternatives to cigarettes. Despite this perception, studies on health effects in humans are extremely limited and in vivo animal models have not been generated. Presently, we determined that E-cig vapor contains 7 x 10(11) free radicals per puff. To determine whether E-cig exposure impacts pulmonary responses in mice, we developed an inhalation chamber for E-cig exposure. Mice that were exposed to E-cig vapor contained serum cotinine concentrations that are comparable to human E-cig users. E-cig exposure for 2 weeks produced a significant increase in oxidative stress and moderate macrophage-mediated inflammation. Since, COPD patients are susceptible to bacterial and viral infections, we tested effects of E-cigs on immune response. Mice that were exposed to E-cig vapor showed significantly impaired pulmonary bacterial clearance, compared to air-exposed mice, following an intranasal infection with Streptococcus pneumonia. This defective bacterial clearance was partially due to reduced phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages from E-cig exposed mice. In response to Influenza A virus infection, E-cig exposed mice displayed increased lung viral titers and enhanced virus-induced illness and mortality. In summary, this study reports a murine model of E-cig exposure and demonstrates that E-cig exposure elicits impaired pulmonary anti-microbial defenses. Hence, E-cig exposure as an alternative to cigarette smoking must be rigorously tested in users for their effects on immune response and susceptibility to bacterial and viral infections.

Interesting articles queen, thanks for posting.

Mostly what I would have expected.

I'm curious, are you under the impression that myself or someone else posting is saying that vaping is risk free or healthy?

All I have to say is that ANYONE that pay $1300 for a purse should go see a shrink....:)

I have no particular impression of whether anyone thinks they are healthy.
I just posted some information about e-cigs, people will use it to support their own biases whatever they are.
One of the studies commented on the phenomenon of people who do apparently believe that e-cigs are some kind of healthy alternative. I think they are healthy for the bank accounts of those who are selling them.
Are e-cigs any cheaper than the real deal? because one of the downsides of tobacco products is the cost. It seems often people who can least afford them are buying them, while their children go without nourishing food.

This is a great article on e cigs.
