This week, a new study was published by " The American Physiological Association". Researchers claim that the vapor from the e-cigarette (even with zero nicotine levels) causes lung damage. Although the study is full of information, the methods used seem dubious and there are several reasons that lead us to believe that we cannot be fully confident in the results obtained.
First of all, we don't know with what temperature the e-liquid was vaporized and tested. The Dr. Konstantinos Farsanlinos recently presented a new study which shows that our e-cigarettes only produce harmful chemicals when vaping is done at very high temperatures or during "Dry-burn". In a normal situation, vapers do not use their equipment with such a temperature but as we have seen in the past, in a laboratory, scientists are able to generate inconvenient results by pushing the temperature limits and using atomizers with burnt resistances. However, as we know, this is not a real risk since nobody in the world of vaping intentionally uses an atomizer with a “dry” resistance (or you have to have a mental imbalance).
Secondly, it is questionable whether this study might not have been biased due to the participation of the "Kentucky Tobacco Research Center". Indeed This group has already published in the past studies warning of health problems that could arise from the use of e-cigarettes and especially lung problems. Obviously their theories have been refuted several times because of the surrealist methods used. Clearly, this famous group is known to create an environment in their laboratory that will give them the results they are looking for, there is no search for objectivity in their way of proceeding which totally discredits the conclusions obtained. .
Thirdly, this new study makes rather startling amalgamations. For example, propylene glycol is demonized and referred to as "antifreeze". In reality as we know, propylene glycol is an additive that can be found in asthma inhalers, foods and many cosmetic products. The propylene glycol reviews are a last ditch effort to find something negative to say about vaping.
Last but not least, we must keep some things in mind: Is the electronic cigarette 100% safe? Probably not. Is the electronic cigarette better than tobacco? Absolutely! You keep tobacco, tar, and the thousands of carcinogens from entering your lungs. Although the ultimate goal is to stop consuming anything, the e-cigarette remains the best smoking cessation.
