A vape study co-published by Stanton Glantz which claimed vaping causes heart attacks was finally retracted yesterday by the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA). The study had incensed vape researchers after it claimed that using vape products caused heart attacks – while failing to mention that most of the subjects in the study […]
Professor Polosa has recently completed his latest study, a review of the effect of vaping on respiratory health. We got together with Riccardo Polosa to discuss how vaping can reverse harm, the potential to reduce infections, the latest controversy over vaping and respiratory diseases in the US and more. In a recent press release you […]
Over the years, we’ve done several experiments with unusual vape flavours. Very often we’ve done this for a bit of fun, but sometimes the results have surprised us. A good few years ago, for example, we went to a vape show with a small range of very unusual flavours. One of them was barbecue sauce […]
And How You Could Help Science! Critics of vaping often point out that “we don’t have enough long-term studies” to really know how much risk vaping poses to users. While the Royal College of Physicians and Public Health England have famously estimated that vaping isn’t likely to pose more than 5% of the risk of […]
I had a few misconceptions about CBD prior to trying it. A friend of mine was vaping it across from me at a pub table, and after innocently asking what her e-liquid was, my curiosity was piqued. “So does it give you a sort of relaxed, sleepy high?” I asked, “Like weed but just with […]
For the first time, we have a study which looks at the effect of vaping on the lungs over the long term. The result? No negative impact on the lungs over a period of several years. Most vapers are ex-smokers, and could be expected to have some lung damage. To get round this problem, the […]
Smokers have a reputation for having bad teeth. They get “nicotine stains,” people say, turning their teeth from a brilliant white into a dull yellow-brown. Faced with comments like this, most vapers would rightly point out that nicotine in pure form is actually colourless. It seems obvious that – much like with the health risks […]
If you’ve heard of the US surgeon generals report on e-cigarettes, you’re probably aware that it is far from positive. The report: painted a picture of an e-cigarette epidemic amongst youth smokers ignored rapidly falling smoking rates amongst youth since e-cigs became popular used data from smoking studies to reach conclusions on nicotine in vapour […]
It’s safe to say nicotine has a pretty bad reputation. From exaggerated claims about how toxic it is to the unfortunately widespread myth that it causes cancer, it’s long been viewed as a menace. As soon as e-cigarettes came on the scene, they were viewed as a menace too, largely because most contain it. Nicotine […]
A friend of mine tried multiple times to switch to vaping. He’d picked up an eGo-style device with a basic clearomizer and some e-juice, but vaping irritated his throat so much he couldn’t keep going. He assumed the nicotine level was the issue. However, reducing it makes vaping less satisfying for a just-switching smoker. Plus, […]
