    Those food flavourings have been cooked in ovens, which are significantly hotter than vapes, in both commercial and home use for decades. The ones that caused problems got removed. They are safe to inhale, even in commercial high use areas. This is not some new area of science.

    We’ve also been pumping disco ‘smoke’ into rooms with people in for decades, any risks would have been identified. It is safe, unless you vape a stupid amount. It’s like 95x safer, but if you then vape 95x more than you smoke, then Darwinism is fine.

    Inhaling smoke is a far higher cancer risk.

        I only vape cannabis. I used vapes to quit smoking. I mixed my own juice and tapered off the nicotine until I found inhaling custard flavoured disco smoke unappealing.

          from the source I sendt up there

          “In particular, an outbreak of E-Cigarette and Vaping-Associated Lung Illness (EVALI) brought the short-term respiratory consequences of vaping into question, especially if cannabis or THC-containing products are used[4]”

          https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa1916433 - this is the source they point to (i.e. [4])

          I enjoy lotsa unhealthy foods and stuff myself, but on my path to quitting nicotine I did vape - and quit it due to concerning research. carcinogens as in cigarettes (and weed) is well understood. Vaping is not.

          anyways! I’ll finish responding now 😅 so enjoy your stuff! just be careful spreading misleading numbers like that 95%, it’s blatantaly false.

            Yes, from the ingredients they put in there. You don’t put oil in your lungs. Again, not new science.

            That’s not cigarette replacement which is where the 95% reduction in harm comes from.
