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.

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.

Wait. Smoking is bad? You think someone would have said something by now.
- Vaping isn't smoking.
  
  Sucking foreign materials into your lungs is bad? You think someone would have said something by now.
  Jesus fuck! I see why people fucking hate Lemmy. Fucking nerds

Vapers and for that matter all tobacco users in this day and age are typically really poorly thought-out scum.
