I read that article earlier today. It comes across as terrible but I haven't read the original paper yet.

If sky are reporting it acurately it's bad research.

dna becomes damaged, potentially, on every cell division. This is nothing new. The type of damage and to what extent is the important factor. The second obvious issue with the research is that the subjects had smoked previously.

It's not the first paper that has attempted to make the connection but it is the first to draw this conclusion. It's good that the research is continueing, of course.

Finally it could just be the reporter sensationalizing the original paper too. Using quotes out of context, for example.

It's common knowledge (or at least it should be) that inhaling anything other than air into your lungs is going to cause damage.

Vapes are not "safe"

They're safer than smoking cigarettes, but that's it.

Everytime I work on the door I cough profusely during the night, violently to a point I have to go in the front room to sleep, I stand right around where everyone smokes and we allow vaping inside.

Bins near shops that sell vapes all look the same

Yeah, look at a bin outside a newsagent next time you go, once you see them you'll spot them everywhere

I don't think anyone would argue with that. It's not really the point though. Chemo is bad for you too but less bad than cancer.

Let's ban banning

I was a heavy smoker for many years, and never thought I'd be able to quit - but I did with vapes.
I can't abide the ones that churn out loads of vapour, they make me cough like feck - but I use a small rechargeable vape, that's tobacco flavour...and it works for me!
I was also able to jib off smoking bifters by using a THC vape.
I must admit, I do feel better for it and so far they've found no adverse health problems - although I won't be massively surprised if they do find something eventually.

I'll be ***ed off if they ban Juuls tbh.

Is it non disposable? What brand and price?

 

[NortonExile]

Can’t stand Vapist’s. And they look stupid sucking on a battery.
