If you follow the link to the Guardian article which he quotes as his source, you will see that what is actually said is that a Japanese investigation has found up to 10 times more formaldahide in one brand of eliquid compared to cigarettes, and not a blanket 10 more cancer causing chemicals across the board as he is trying to imply ... Just the usual pathetic attempt to hold onto their massive profits by big tobacco and big pharma at the expense of lives.

It's a great pity more prominence wasn't given to this quote . . . . .

" Writing on the e-cigarette research website, the Greek cardiologist Konstantinos Farsalinos said the offending device tested by Kunugita was “a single extreme case out of the many products he tested,” adding that the high formaldehyde reading may have been caused by several factors, including a faulty e-cigarette.

“Obviously, we have to realise that focusing the discussion on one of the tens of carcinogens present in tobacco cigarette smoke is misleading,” Farsalinos said.

“Even if e-cigarettes contained similar, or higher, levels of formaldehyde, they do not contain the majority of other toxic and carcinogenic substances present in cigarette smoke. Overall, any residual risk from e-cigarette use is orders of magnitude lower than smoking. This is exactly what smokers need (and deserve) to know.”


Not enough of a headline grabber I guess . . . . .

He would be 13 by now, that study is a year old and the misleading conclusions drawn widely criticised. Even by the researcher himself.
