      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.
