It's almost reads like a 4chan post
>Public health officials are at odds with scientists over whether or not e-cigarettes are safe
>In August, Public Health England issued a report concluding that e-cigarettes were 95 per cent less harmful than conventional tobacco and urged Britain’s eight million smokers to start vaping.
>But health experts from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the University of Liverpool claim evidence used in the report was flawed, based on inconclusive evidence which was tainted by vested interests.
>Writing in the BMJ, Professor Martin McKee and Professor Simon Capewell said there was no reliable evidence to show that e-cigarettes were safe or that they did not provide a ‘gateway’ to smoking for youngsters.
>Although the PHE report was welcomed by bodies like Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) and the Royal College of Physicians of London, other leading health bodies - including the British Medical Association, the UK Faculty of Public Health, the European Commission and the World Health Organization, have expressed caution

...I'll stick to my pipes, more "gentleman" like and enjoyable anyways.
I always found it amazing how people are so quick to jump into things without and personal or professional research. Its like here! Drink some nicotine. Your lungs will be free and clear. Sad part is a percentage of consumers will take it no questions asked... (but we all make mistakes)

Call me silly, but I have always been skeptical of E-Cigs. Speaking personally, at least tobacco is a natural product that grows from the ground. Sure there may be chemicals added, especially in cig manufacturing, but the product does start out as organic material. E-Cigs, on the other hand, are 100% manufactured in a laboratory. There is nothing natural in them. They are full of chemicals or extracts that have been manufactured by science.
I`ll stick with my natural substances thank you.

Most people do not agree with me, but yes, I lump E-Cigs in with stuff like Crack and Meth, just minus the addition part... wait, nicotine is the most addictive substance on the planet right :roll:
The big point:
Not inhaling, and covering your lungs in burned matter and tar, is the material issue here. Even if you smoked arugula or quinoa or something hippie-healthy, if you inhaled it would cause lung problems.
Pipe and cigar smokers inhale less, or extremely little, and are therefore dodging this bullet.

So much for the idea that published science is infallible, since it depends on the logical reasoning abilities of those involved (and the assumption that they are not merely publishing a product to satisfy the biases of an existing audience).
Exactly. Modern "science" has become nothing more than a vehicle for political propaganda and social engineering.
This is an article about something with science involved, which is a far cry from a publish scientific article in a scientific journal. This was written for the public and scientific research is written for a much more specific audience. Honestly, I cannot interpret a true scientific research. Too heavy in jargon.
This hack stuff was written to make parents get pissed at their kids for bringing those ecigs home. Science research is written for other scientist to verify their work.

From day one, when these things hit the market, people stood in droves watching, tapping their feet, looking for some reason that they should not allow people to do it. It just irritates these Nazis to no end that someone should find it recreational to blow smoke of any sort. It boils their blood.
I could care less if someone should want to make popcorn in their lungs. It's their lungs, their choice. I support their rights to do it. But, I just keep imagining people with popcorn coming out of their mouths like human Pez Dispensers. :

Or someone opening their mouth to speak, and vomiting popcorn instead like a zombie plague beginning... cool.
