    To say there’s no direct evidence is disingenuous. Yes, there are no peer reviewed articles that directly correlate vaping and cancer chance, but guess what there also isn’t? Studies that say they’re safe

    The reason for this is simple: there’s about a 14 year delay between any smoking changes and lung cancer presenting itself. Extrapolate that to three trials, and you’re looking at minimum 50 years before it can hit shelves

    What is known about vapes is that they contain many of the same carcinogens found in cigarettes, which should be a red flag to most people

      Not true at all. Vapes don’t contain any known carcinogens.

        According to cancer.org.au

        For example, propylene glycol and glycerine found in e-cigarettes when overheated can produce dangerous levels of the carcinogens formaldehyde and acetaldehyde.

          And it was found the study ran the batteries in an unsafe manner, as in no one would use their vape like that because they had to go around the safeties.
