Dr claiming e-cig vapour as harmful as smoke recants the finding

[Colonelboom]

The doozy news piece from a couple of weeks back where an oral oncology study claimed no difference between ecig vapour and tobacco smoke has been corrected (clumsily) by the lead Doctor.

CLARIFICATION/CORRECTION: Contrary to what was stated or implied in much of the news coverage resulting from this news release, the lab experiments did not find that e-cigarette vapor was as harmful to cells as cigarette smoke. In fact, one phase of the experiments, not addressed in the news release, found that cigarette smoke did in fact kill cells at a much faster rate. However, because similar cell-damage mechanisms were observed as the result of both e-vapor and regular cigarette smoke, Dr. Wang-Rodriguez asserts, based on the evidence from the study, that e-cigarettes are not necessarily a healthier alternative to smoking regular cigarettes. As stated in the journal paper and the news release, further research is needed to better understand the actual long-term health effects of e-cigarettes in humans.

From what I understood of that the same could be said of vinegar and bleach but I don't think 'journalists' would say vinegar is as dangerous as bleach.

I'm sure most things deteriorate human cells to some degree, pretty much anything will kill us in high enough quantities, even water.
