read the article, under the "our testing" section they pull a bunch of numbers out of thin air with no actual lab data to back up any of the claims and top it off with scary graphs. also under the "our testing" works cited page, the only two links provided are the CDC pages for
Acetaldehyde and
Formaldehyde which lists the effects of different dosages under many different situations. but the "study" doesnt give details on what methods they used for testing, what values were found, and what devices produced what values. if i missed it and someone else found where they went into detail about the study, id like to read it. talk about deceptive marketing.
im always interested in reading about testing ecigs because im just as curious as anybody. i want to know what im putting into my lungs. but some of these studies are hard to take seriously, especially if they are constructed like that one. also the whole "not effective way to quit smoking" thing always gets to me and i think thats a load of shit as well. i, along with many other friends and acquaintances have quit smoking because of ecigs. Im also a respiratory therapist that does oxygen evaluation tests for outpatients. every once in a while ill run into a patient that vapes. some who smoked for 30-40 years and quit because of ecigs. anecdotal evidence, for sure. but im not buying that "dosnt help quit" bullshit.
