those numbers do seem alot better in my eyes. Im not going back to analogs any time soon.

Shouldn't really say, but looking at those figures, and assuming the tests where identical. It appears that the 2 chemicals are coming from the flavouring.
Notice the big jump between the apple and tobacco flavours. And is it plausible to say that the difference between the to apple flavours, could be a difference in flavor strength.
Either way still saver than the alternative.

Just found this in one of the linked documents
"Is inhaled formaldehyde safe?
Formaldehyde is produced naturally by our bodies,5 is found in all cells and is a normal component of
human blood. In fact, formaldehyde is an essential chemical in the body and serves as a building block for
the biosynthesis of more complicated molecules.6 Formaldehyde is one of the most studied chemicals in
use today. Studies in rats, monkeys, and humans show that inhaled formaldehyde does not change the
levels of formaldehyde normally present in the blood."

Looking at my gonads, I should they've been soaked in formaldehyde for some time now. They look like a couple of pickled walnuts.

Just thought I'd share that with you.
