“The Japanese Formaldehyde Fiasco”

Many of you have read the story… “E-cigarettes contain up to 10 times carcinogens”.
Many of you have and continue to ask me questions about it.

IMHO this is what happens when testers who don’t know what they’re testing test things and why it’s so important that the research on e-cig safety needs to be done by those who actually understand how people vape.

So here are some responses to the story that you may find interesting…

From Dr. Farsalinos: “Electronic cigarette aerosol contains 6 times LESS formaldehyde than tobacco cigarette smoke

From Clive Bates: “Spreading fear and confusion with misleading formaldehyde studies

From the American Vaping Association (AVA): “New E-Cig Study Hypes Formaldehyde Fears Based on Faulty Experiments

I hope this helps and puts your mind at ease.

More testing is needed. Testing should not be feared. Results should not be feared. They should be used as an opportunity to do what we do in safer, healthier ways.
