The more I read the comments of any discussion about e-cigarettes, the more I am convinced that there is a dedicated astroturfing campaign so any real discussion of the possible risks of e-cigarettes is derailed.
Any suggestion that e-cigarettes could be dangerous at all is instantly downvoted into oblivion or shouted down with, "you want me to smoke? It's deadly!"
Well, either a dedicated campaign or just a lot of addicts with their head firmly buried in the sand.
Is there any real chance that e-cigs could be more dangerous, or comparable to smoking? Would we even know yet? It can take decades for smokers to start developing bad symptoms, could vaping be similar?
- golemotron 7y agoIt's possible. I would go further and say that the idea that smoke and vapor -of any kind- might not be great for your lungs is also suppressed by people who want marijuana legalized. I'm one of them, but the idea that breathing non-gaseous things doesn't have negative health effects is just weird.
