The testing was the equivalent to lighting a Haynes t-shirt on fire and then releasing a study stating that Haynes T-shirts cause lung damage. They literally melted these cartridges by giving them way too much power and no airflow, using them in a way that no person ever would (or could) to get their scary sounding conclusions.

    Addicts believe any bullshit to justify the addiction, the brain is reprogrammed for that.

    Regardless of intake studies, vapers and smokers have the same level of DNA damage and it takes decades for this to play out with cancer rates, but the obvious truth that huffing any chemical is dangerous is only a matter of time.

    Ah, yes, a blanket statement, followed up with a cherry picked study, followed up with an unsourced claim, followed up with an obvious lack of scientific understanding about breathing in "chemicals."

    Great comment.

    Its possible your comments cause mental distress, high coritsol levels, high blood pressure, and early death in some individuals therefore I'm going to enact legislation to have you banned from the internet for the good of public health.
