Are vapers more likely to get a heart attack or are people with a stressful life with a higher risk of a heart attack more likely to be vapers?
Sorry. Could not resist.
- uniqueuid 2y agoFair question! We would need a RCT with controls for that, perhaps one exists :)
- ZeroGravitas 2y agoThis feels similar to the thing where "non-drinkers" in studies were composed of "people who had never drank alcohol" and also "recovering alcoholics". I would imagine a chunk of vapers are people trying to transition from smoking cigarettes and still suffering from some of the ill effects.
