More research tries to link e-cigs to formaldehyde
A letter published in the New England Journal of Medicine has tried linking e-cigs and vaping to dangerous levels of formaldehyde and much like the Japanese study before it, it exaggerates the actual danger.

Maybe it’s just me because I blog about crime also, but by using the word luring it sounds like they’re comparing e-cigs to child molesters. Anyway here’s what has TIME so aghast… Advertising exposure for e-cigarettes increased 256%…

Seeing e-cigs make smokers want to smoke
In what may possibly be the dumbest study ever done a study found that when smokers saw someone using an e-cig it made them want to smoke. I smoked for 30 years so I may have some insight on this. Do you know what always made me want to smoke? Everything. Get up? Got to…
