Last week we got 18" of snow. 6 days later and it's 72F. My favorite season is being erased.

You're clearly not cherry picking. If you were, you might have some articles that at least hint that ECs might be more harmful than cigarettes, but none of them come close. The first link you posted gets the closest, but it's also just an article about one experiment, using 4 liquids that are not recommended in EC communities.

The rest of the actual studies you posted are not about safety. They do not compare disease or illness or death between the two. One of them does compare the amount of toxic chemicals in ECs to cigarettes and finds ECs to have zero. Until there are long term studies comparing the rate of death and disease, no journal is going to publish any definitive answer that ECs are safer than cigarettes. Until then, we will just have a bunch of studies comparing chemical composition, rates and particle sizes. And if it isn't obvious, chemical composition and their rates are a bit more worrisome than the latter.

If you read through these studies and still think vaping is more harmful than cigarettes, then by all means wait the 50 years it will take the scientific community to out right say the obvious "vaping isn't healthy, but it is significantly less harmful than traditional tobacco smoking."

Autocorrect shall decide the Victor.

Shit.

Ignorant take. When vape products contain, at most, 6 ingredients, all of which have been individually extensively studied, none of which are carcinogenic, and 5 of them are FDA approved for food and pharmaceuticals, theres a pretty obvious harm reduction to inhaling thousands of compounds with at least 70 being carcinogens. So much so that every study you can find will conclude the same.

Here's a quote from a source I would call a qualified institution on the matter: "In its 2016 assessment, the Royal College of Physicians of London stated: “Although it is not possible to precisely quantify the long-term health risks associated with e-cigarettes, the available data suggest that they are unlikely to exceed 5% of those associated with smoked tobacco products and may well be substantially lower than this figure.”

That isn't pseudoscience. It's easily found by a quick Google search.

Conclusively, we're going to find that the tobacco industry makes far less money off of refined nicotine than it does from tobacco. There's a reason Phillip Morris bought a 30% stake in Juul, ran their advertising into the ground, and now also exclusively funds anti vaping ads rather than anti tobacco product ads.

They hooked a new generation on nicotine with Juul and are trying to ban vaping to sell their higher profit margin cigarettes.

Whether my conspiracy conjecture is found to be true or not, studies comparing vaping to smoking keep coming to the same conclusion, vaping is less harmful than smoking. If you have a study or information to the opposite I would love to read it.

Would you rather, receive open heart surgery performed by Oz, Phil with Nurse McCarthy, or receive lethal injection administered by Dr Phil?

This shouldnt be a hard question, but....

Next is that pesky porn problem that makes up most of the traffic.

Our dads probably know each other.

The fans revving for 20 seconds and the program opening it's loading screen: "Nice".

The fans revving for 5 seconds and the program is sitting at 0% CPU after 1 full minute: "fuck this bullshit." But you hold onto hope and wait another 5 minutes, and as your confirming to restart the PC the program starts loading, and you have to watch it load entirely before it's killed by the restart, and the restart takes even longer because the program actually opened.

Or,

You browser is loading homestarrunner.com and the loading bar stops at 10% like it should for 5 minutes, but the 5 minutes passes by, and you click the clock on the task bar only to see your mouse turn into an hourglass.

I'm sure there's a relevant bible verse that can be used to justify that.

There's that one where "and Jesus spoke unto his flock, 'maketh my words weapons, and ye shall have the word of God to force women to have sex with you for all eternity' and everybody clapped"

Either that, or send a ton of bots that like the stock for a bunch of reasons as written by chatgpt.

Many don't have to imagine because that's just reality.
