Unpopular opinion: you shouldn’t be allowes to link studies the way you did without contexualizing them. The first study was in vitro, not in vivo. They exposed petri dishes to massive quantities of condensate.
Based off the headline/intro I thought they were going to demonstrate that inhaled ejuice leads to macropahges being disabled (which would be very bad). That’s not the case however.
FWIW, I don’t think vaping is harmless to the lungs. I do think it’s an order of magnitude better than smoked tobacco.
Personally, I never smoked tobacco seriously (took occasional hits of a cigarette while drunk and that was it). Meanwhile friends of mine would smoke tobacco out of a bong 10-12 times a day. (One of the craziest sights ever to see someone smoke so much tobacco at once that they lose muscular function for 60 secs).
OTOH, I did become dependent on vaporizing nicotine. So please don’t think I’m saying there’s no harm of addiction/damage etc. But let’s please actually analyze the scientific studies from a critical perspective rather than link dropping to make an argument look more well founded than it is
