The Mirror is at it again

What confuses me is that the results are in direct contrast to this....
Designated Vaping - Is Propylene Glycol Dangerous?

And it turns out the effects were 10x greater with cigarettes....
Cigarettes and e-cigarettes make MRSA harder to kill - Medical News Today

But this was conveniently omitted.

is a shit article. inhaling liquid tobacco vapour???? dangers of liquid nicotine???

and as for the free radicals i never liked their music much anyway.

He had one piece of good news for vapers: e-cigarettes produced just 1% of the amount of free radicals in tobacco smoke.

that line is good enough for me. i like those odds.

As an aside, look at the e-cigarette articles published by the Guardian. Nearly every article is given a photo depicting sexy tendrils of smoky vapour. If you look at their smoking articles, far fewer depict smoke. Is this because of rules regulating the depiction of smoke? Genuine question.

God that whole peice is written so badly and obviously intentionally.

There are good points, but they're hidden and then spun into bad points :

"inhaling liquid tobacco vapour has found it is FULL of the SAME "free radicals" found in cigarette smoke."

BUT

"e-cigarettes produced JUST 1% of the amount of free radicals in tobacco smoke."

THEN

"We were surprised by how HIGH that number was, considering that e-cigarettes do not produce combustion products,"

WTF

So in real summary:-

… e-cigarettes only produce 1% of the free radicals found in cigarettes.

… if you vape you might get a cough or cold.

… if you smoke cigarettes you die (I'm basing this on the assumption the mice they subjected Cigarette smoke to died as they weren't mentioned!)

FFS!
E-cigarette health scare: nicotine vapour contains SAME cancer chemical as tobacco smoke - Mirror Online

The same tossbag hack that wrote the other article. What a talentless, lazy, bottom feeding excuse of a journalist.

If he had any integrity he'd actually research stories properly before submitting them but it appears he's just an incompetent parrot.

You can't tell he's a Cockney can you!!!

Really?......never noticed!

Btw, did you know a swedish study found you're three times more likely to get a brain tumor using a mobile phone? In fact WHO recognised they are possibly carcinogenic. We obviously won't know for definite for decades but we better ban them 'just in case' right? Surely? Anyone? No?

schlinky oh no won't someone think of the children with their iphones glued to their hands/heads 24/7 from 2 years old... and yes I have seen them at that age....

Journalistic trolling would be a good phrase to coin. The guy clearly has a bug up his arse about vaping. The Mirror ! Who the fuck buys that shit anyway ? They'll never see my cash.
