Here's the FDA summary report - https://www.fda.gov/newsevents/publichealthfocus/ucm173146.htm https://www.fda.gov/newsevents/publichealthfocus/ucm173146.h... - and the actual report - https://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/scienceresearch/ucm173250.pdf https://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/scienceresearch/ucm17325... it's not "deliberately opaque"
And um, yes, the supplement industry is essentially unregulated and is notorious for doing exactly that - putting random shit in there that hasn't been tested for safety and isn't listed on the label. That's up to and including controlled prescription medications.

Nor did I ever say, or even imply, we should stop selling e-cigs or any other product for that matter.
- mistermann 9y agoThe supplement industry is very different, in many different ways, a gigantic one being source of ingredients. The point is, we have uncertainty being printed as confirmed danger, in a billion dollar industry (with a very well documented history of deceit) selling a product known to kill, at risk of being completely disrupted. Pardon me if I'm a little skeptical of misleading claims.
