This is what happens when you do a study in order to prove your belief (bias)

Long story short, they basically marinated lung cells in high concentrations of e-liquid and when the lung cells finally showed some issues(up to 48 hours later), they went 'aha! see!?!'

We do not get pure e-liquid in our lungs, what ends up in our lungs is orders of magnitude less concentrated than pure e-liquid. If you got the amounts of e-liquid in your lungs that they tested with, you would not survive, never mind get a cold from it

Haha, the fools :D

It's sad how this still happens now, with all the knowledge and information available to us you'd think people would "smart up"...but nooooo ;)

Been happening for years - plenty of studies out there on various subjects set up and funded by people who want to push a certain agenda - these days with internet, it us just so much easier to call them out on it publicly :)
 
Well why dont they marinade the lung cells in fibre glass,tar or cyanide? All of those and more are snuggled into a smoke that is legal and available at any shop.

Read of a study many years ago that a dude did to prove a point - he took some lab rats, cut them open and smeared peanut butter inside their lungs - they all ended up dying from various forms of lung cancer - his point was, in high enough concentrations just about anything is carcogenic

People often use these kinda 'studies' to prove that the product they dislike can harm you

Hahahaha, death by Peanut Butter....well I suppose that is a thing if you're allergic to nuts :D

Sad part is that the people who are against something keep using these studies for years after they have been dis-proven and slammed publicly :(
