Metro Newspaper: Flavouring in e-cigs could prove harmful

[MrDJ]

(free) Metro Newspaper Thursday 16th April (page 2)

and yet more bad press

Flavouring used in e cigs contain potentially harmful levels of chemicals, researchers warn.
tests on chemicals used to flavour fluid in a sample of 30 products found many were aldehydes, which are respiratory irritants.
at the common consumption rate, that would expose users to twice the occupational exposure limits of the irritants benzaldehyde and vanilin, US researchers warn.
it comes as another study, also published in the BMJ, found 5.8 percent of 10-11 year olds had tried e ciggarettes - far more than the 1.6 percent who had tried tobacco.

METRO HAH the worst written online rag to ever grace the planet. makes the daily fail look highbrow. written by useless plebs for even more useless plebs... i dont think a day passes when there isnt at least half a dozen stories on metro that are so badly written that i have a little weep in my coffee for all the proper journos out there.
dont think ive ever come a worse bit of trash even the daily sport is quality truthful writing compared to Metro.
wouldnt wipe my arse on it if it was the last paper on the planet

I've just read the article in the link below, written yesterday at the metro online. From what I can gather, amongst the utter crap, I think they are trying to say that you can get addicted to nicotine by standing next to a vaper!!!!!!

pipedreamsuk in which case you are addicted to nicotine if you eat tomatoes, potatoes aubergines and a ton of other veg which all contain more nic than pasive vaping even if it does exist.. which doesn't seem to be the case

Not many people know this, but my nicotine addiction started when I first saw a colour photograph of a ham sandwich. Life's so much better in black and white ...

I hate this garbage. The thing is Researchers never actually "warn" it's not their job, their job is in the name "research". All they can ever do is undertake the research and publish the findings.
How those findings are interpreted results in the crap I keep reading.

Isn't it about time that the vaping world conscripted Jack Dee as the spokesperson, so that the phrase "So what? Who cares?" gets used much more often that it currently is.
