E-cigarettes contain 10 times the level of cancer-causing agents as regular tobacco
[link to www.msn.com]

E-cigarettes contain 10 times the level of cancer-causing agents as regular tobacco, Japanese scientists said Thursday, the latest blow to an invention once heralded as less harmful than smoking.

The electronic devices -- increasingly popular around the world, particularly among young people -- function by heating flavoured liquid, which often contains nicotine, into a vapour that is inhaled, much like traditional cigarettes but without the smoke.

Researchers commissioned by Japan's Health Ministry found carcinogens such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in vapour produced by several types of e-cigarette liquid, a health ministry official told AFP.

Formaldehyde -- a substance found in building materials and embalming fluids -- was present at much higher levels than carcinogens found in the smoke from regular cigarettes, the official said.

"In one brand of e-cigarette the team found more than 10 times the level of carcinogens contained in one regular cigarette," said researcher Naoki Kunugita, adding that the amount of formaldehyde detected varied through the course of analysis.

"Especially when the... wire (which vaporises the liquid) gets overheated, higher amounts of those harmful substances seemed to be produced."

In reality the juice for the vapor comes from any number of sources. There are plenty where I am from that offer "organic". I am sure if you picked some up from some place in china though and had it tested, you probably would find some harmful stuff.

Thats a certain chemical called dicetyl found in some food flavourings it well known about and not used in E-cig juice, even if it was the popcorn lung is a caused by workplace exposure over long periods of time.

I wish people would stop hating on chinese mades stuff, most of the worlds chemical supply for certain chemicals comes from china particularly in the pharmaceutical and food industry, the PG and Vg going into your eliquid if certified as phara grade is more pure than anything US made in food grade.

10x the level of Some chemicals in some e-liquids, but still lacks the other 4,000 odd harmfull and carcinogenic chemicals known to be found in tobbacco smoke.

Proper E-cigs have variable wattage and voltage control to ensure no nasty burning taste, they were probably burning the wicking material to get these results.

The ingredients in my current juice.. Vegetable glycerine (phara grade), Propylene glycol (pharma grade), nicotine (pharma grade), Spearmint extract (food grade).

Fact is, the article was BS and probably funded by "Big tobacco". The fact you correlate E-juice vapers (who just so happen to usually be elite, "smart people") to "retarded people" just shows your lack of understanding. What a numb nuts you are. Stop hating on things you don't understand and calling EVERYONE stupid when it's you that lacks understanding. Fucker...

YEAH...don't do anything like.. GET INFORMED OF FACTS NOT PROPAGANDA!
Some E-juice may be made under nefarious conditions like any product could be, milk or anything else.

Anyone with half a brain sources only pharmaceutical grade liquids to vape. I would never vape BS juice from some third world country that I didn't know the source.

If you do...that's your own stupid fault!

Go read a book and stop posting propaganda!book

The crazy things they say are in tobbaco makes you wonder why are they even bothering? From that thetruth.com website they say rocket fuel,cat urine and so on an on. While cancer foundations keep popping up all over the place. At this point in time,almost everything appears to cause some form or some link to cancer. Especially in California where they love to label everything saying it causes cancer.

Perhaps the cancer itself is the propaganda of a fear induced mindset so you. Even towns are trying to ban the sell of tobacco,while e-cigs are on the rise. Meanwhile Cvs pharmacy stops selling cigarettes,yet you can go into a CVS buy some beer and some pills an you could off yourself pretty quickly

Also when someone gets cancer they happen to smoke cigarettes any time in their life it gets checked marked as the cause. I wonder if their is something about tobacco that has changed and if the agenda to ban it is for another reason. Now the push for legalization of weed is everywhere. Who knows what the powers that be are up to at this moment.

Regardless their constant fear campaign has generated a division while the mammon money keeps itself enveloping the nation. An in other news the constant bombardment of pharmaceutical drugs for any ailment are being droned into peoples heads via tv. I guess nobody can understand what it really is all about?

They probably use Formaldehyde as a Solvent because its cheap.


You should hold these companies to better practices with your Dollars.

Or just Vaporize tobacco instead of those oils.


You can get the real tobacco that is totally unadulterated and use the type of vaporizer for plant material.
