Phillip Morris sells vapes. Cigarette companies have been pivoting, because of the false conception that vapes are safe.

The problem as I’ve mentioned is these studies will have titles and abstracts that say vapes are more dangerous than fentanyl, but the actual science doesn’t support that conclusion.

Is this true of any of the six or so studies I’ve linked so far? Most of what I’m pulling isn’t from the abstracts btw.

In the worst case, they’ll actually cook the books with insane concentrations of nicotine or outrageous assumptions about vape use. Well I guess the worst case was that one study which literally fabricated data, but that’s an outlier.

Can you give specific examples of this happening? Name of study, institution?

Is this coming from Joe Rogan or something? Nicotine denialism is wild.
