As cigarettes are phased out, parents say new laws do little to address rampant vaping by young people.

    Which studies? I’m legitimately curious as the only deaths I’ve heard of were because of the vitamin e acetate they were using in the knockoff cannabis pens.

      https://nap.nationalacademies.org/resource/24952/012318ecigaretteConclusionsbyEvidence.pdf has a pretty good overview.

      Full paper: https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/24952/public-health-consequences-of-e-cigarettes

      The EVALI outbreak in US was determined to be caused by “illegal” products, but the materials to produce them are not banned in the US as far as I know.

        There is conclusive evidence that in addition to nicotine, most e-cigarette products contain and emit
        numerous potentially toxic substances.

        In other words, bullshit. The dosage makes the poison.

        I’ve been looking through that study for the last 20 minutes and I don’t see anything about anyone dieing from normal nicotine vape products.
