      Failing to read the whole article creates mythology.

      Most of the disposable e-cigarettes tested released markedly higher amounts of metals and metalloids into vapors than earlier, refillable vapes.

      Buddy, do you really think everyone criticizing this uses vapes?

      Do you think it’s impossible to criticize points you agree with? I prefer misinformation getting called out

          Is it? I think it’s worth pointing out that they only tested 3 models (?) from the same company. We have no idea if it can be extrapolated so the headline is hyperbolic. It’s like saying apples potatoes are poisonous but you only tested 3 farms owned by the same company for poison.

          Regardless, I am pro-regulation for both safety and environmental impact. They created an insane amount of ewaste already and now some have full color LCDs…on a device you’re supposed to throw away in a month

              Can’t say what all the comments are like now, but at the time of you posting that there was literally no one defending vaping in the comments
