Many of you have read the story… “E-cigarettes contain up to 10 times carcinogens”.
\nMany of you have and continue to ask me questions about it. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

So here are some responses to the story that you may find interesting…<\/p>\n

From Dr. Farsalinos: “Electronic cigarette aerosol contains 6 times LESS formaldehyde than tobacco cigarette smoke<\/a>”<\/p>\n

From Clive Bates: “Spreading fear and confusion with misleading formaldehyde studies<\/a>”<\/p>\n

From the American Vaping Association (AVA): “New E-Cig Study Hypes Formaldehyde Fears Based on Faulty Experiments<\/a>”<\/p>\n

I hope this helps and puts your mind at ease. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
