Comment on Vietnam introduces tougher penalties on e-cigarette and heated tobacco use

What I did find was this
Most critically, vaporised PG efficiently abolishes influenza A virus and SARS‐CoV‐2 infectivity within airborne droplets, potently preventing infection at levels well below those tolerated by mammals. We present PG vapour as a first‐in‐class non‐toxic airborne virucide that can prevent transmission of existing and emergent viral pathogens, with clear and immediate implications for public health.
Which might explain why everyone in my family (in the house and extended) has had COVID (often more than once) and I never have.

I’ll have to dig around for it. It was a legit paper posted from one of those vape forums back in the day when people where building their own vapes. I was really surprised about it.
But that covid/flu paper doesn’t surprise me. I’m betting minus the staining you’re talking about, you’re gums are probably in better shape than others who don’t vape as well. As I know it killed bacteria as well.

Yes, a couple months after I switched, my dentist told me my mouth was in much better shape.
Like I said, safer than tobacco by far, not necessarily safe.

Yea that comes with the territory. It’s a vice, all vices come with risks, but if someone wants to live without risk or well enjoyment that’s their call, but I hate when people want to force that shit on others. Stop worrying about what I do to my body, especially if you’re 400lbs and slamming bigmacs into your face or “social drinking” every other day.
