They may look like travel shampoo bottles and smell like bubblegum, but after a few hundred puffs, some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than older e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For example, one of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.

    It pretty difficult to quantify the amount of people who never smoked who would have smoked if they hadn’t vaped. This is clearly a big tobacco hit piece. I’m completely fine with becoming an anti vape crusader. Once leaf tobacco is dead.

      I’m not clicking that. And, I never said people shouldn’t do it. I just said don’t tell people it’s not harmful too. Far too many people like to defend their drug of choice. We should all be aware, even if we choose to ignore reality privately.
