Compounds produced by heating some fruit-flavoured vape liquids have implications for lung and cardiovascular disease and cancer

Vape research is almost always terrible quality. Practically every study uses temperatures completely intolerable and unrealistic, they don’t reflect ordinary use. That’s not to say vaping is healthier than not vaping, but it obvious to see it’s far safer than smoking
Yeah, this study was basically just guessing how various chemicals break down under heat. The fact that they reference the EVALI bullshit tells me the study can be safely ignored.
Next they are going to say that smoking is bad.
I suppose from a harm reduction standpoint the big question is: has vaping dropped chronic disease that has been traditionally linked to tobacco products or is it equally or more dangerous than traditional tobacco products? If it’s reducing mortality and disease, then that’s a good thing overall even it still poses some risk to long term health. Obviously you don’t want to use traditional tobacco products or vape products if you want a healthy cardiovascular system.
Far safer, probably even with garbage quality import vapes. You can see when someone at your gym swaps from smoking to vaping, their performance skyrockets. Clear as day their lungs are working better. Shouldn’t be a huge surprise given there is no tar when vaping
Far safer, agreed. After 20-years of smoking, I quit coughing within 3-weeks.
OTOH, I just quit vaping (10-years) and started the nicotine pouches. Game. Changed. I had no idea how bad vaping was for me. (That was bad for me personally. YMMV depending on several factors. I basically vaped like it was air.)
I assume you mean patches, not pouches haha
How long did it take to see improvement after you swapped to patches?
pouches. they’re like snus, but no tobacco, only nicotine
Careful, those things cause awful gum recession and potential tooth loss if you use them regularly
That’s better for your lungs, but far, FAR worse for mouth teeth and gums
can you link studies on this? i’ve been looking but can’t find-- and i’ve been using pouches for years and haven’t noticed those side effects
Oh yeah, so few people use them here I assumed you typoed haha
It’s absolutely not as dangerous as smoking.
Also, nicotine alone has heart positive effects.
I’m always wary of studies about products, but at least in this case the funding is governmental instead of private

This really isn’t a product study. They’re just guessing how chemicals will break down under heat.
Well imagine my shock.
Vapers and for that matter all tobacco users in this day and age are typically really poorly thought-out scum.
