Nothing is harmless. To have a conversation that isn't just scare mongering and opinion pushing you have to actually mention risk factors. From everything I've read, e-cigs are so almost harmless that it doesn't even bear mentioning. Studies like this show that e-cigs are harmful on about the same level as eating too much kale is harmful.
People that fixate on the small but technically true fact that it is "harmful" are doing much more harm to people's health than e-cigs, because each comment to that effect potentially dissuades another smoker from making the switch.
- ptaipale 11y agoI wonder why you're downvoted, but I fearlessly agree: comments about "it is harmful, as this study can reveal" are often grossly exaggerating risks that are extremely minimal and not relevant at all for the typical use case. Of course, everything can be taken to extremes. Even drinking water can kill you, after all, and the dose is probably easier to get than in e-cigs.
