E-cigarette safety studies: No link here, because after some searching it appears that there are a number of conflicting studies about the safety of e-cigarettes. One oft-cited test found that e-cigarettes contained some amounts of carcinogens and other dangerous substances including a “chemical found in antifreeze”. It should be noted that the main “chemical found in antifreeze” is alcohol which is a poison in the right formulation and dosage. As we mentioned in the show itself caffeine and nicotine are also technically-poisonous substances that many people partake of every day without apparent injury.

We’re not qualified to make a judgement call on whether e-cigs are “safe” but we would caution against reading too much into statements which essentially boil down to “This product contains chemicals.” (I’m glaring at you anti-vaccine activists).
