- argonaut 6y agoHave you actually read the article? The study's methodology is super confusing and just plain doesn't make sense. From what I can decipher, they conflated obesity, diabetes, smoking, immune disorders, and several other factors all together into a single variable ("vulnerability") and made no attempt to look at the contribution of smoking alone. They also lumped e-cigarettes together with tobacco and cigar smoking.
