I saw this same exact comment under another thread that talked about a study, but it was clearly wrong as they were from different parent companies. In this case, the brands aren't even named in the study. Again, I must ask for source for your claim, but again I don't expect you to provide it.

Also, it's only disposables. I use the rebuildable rtm coils with tiny microcoils I wind myself and cotton at 12W, and I've had my blood tested recently per a physcial and lead was on the sheet at a negligible amount.

Some other dude might use an entirely different brand, someone might use pods, someone might use old gear, set in their ways.

And the coils for all of these setups range from pieces of mesh to metal plates to wound pieces of wire to ceramic disks to who knows what. There is no standard.

Because the Trump and Biden FDA banned everything else already. Now they want to ban whats left in order to push people back toward cigarettes which can still be purchased at every gas station, grocery or convenience store in the country.

They aren’t in the UK, technically, but manufacturers get around it by making them rechargeable.

I’ve read about people that don’t bother recharging them, though.

There needs to be a $20 deposit on them that you get back when you turn in the empty vape.

Or, hot take, make vapes you can refill.

This. So much effort being put into regulating zero-waste bags and attached bottle cups yet those vapes fly under the radar

Just have a cocktail and smoke a cig, it’s better than weed and ecigs! How dare you switch because of rat poison found in our cigs and how the RICH banded hemp due to lobbying by the paper people… not due to anything else! Cool!

Regulatory issues. Adulterants in shitty quality disposables.

Not "vaping inherently dangerous."

the disposables are the problem. probably manufacturing or regulations. the way the coils aren't changed, the way it sits in it, the way they use highly concentrated nicotine salts... it's nothing like the classic refillable tank and box mods that just took regular juice with nothing but PG/VG/nicotine/flavoring

Quality control, especially of cheap vapes

Chemical composition of the resistance wire

People want to ingest a harmful drug and not see that as a threat to their health?

Sure, but the diesel bus that just drove by you gave you way more cancer than Brad with his Vanilla Mocha vape did.

You can smell the fucking cotton candy if a guy in a car vapes in front of you.

Those people are jackasses and should be shamed. I quit a 6 year cigarette smoking habit with just one year of using an actual vape, not these shitty gas station things. One of the best decisions I've made in my life. The potential for smoking cessation is there. But stupid and obnoxious people set the basis for stereotypes.

They're comparing it to cigarettes and other vapes.

20 times more lead is still 20 times more lead.

Some of the studies on smoking I've seen were less about understanding how and why people consume tobacco and recommend alternatives, and more like echoing the old practices and beliefs of the temperance movement, which considers tobacco and alcohol as archenemies of humanity. That anytime there's someone publicly declaring they quit smoking, it's followed with praises which at times reminiscent of a tent revival.
