vaping temporarily impacts blood vessel function in healthy people.

Yeah? So does a cup of coffee.

"There's no doubt in my mind that vaping is safer than conventional smoking," Jackler said, "but that doesn't mean that it's safe."

At least they ended it with a realistic assessment. Nothing is 100% "safe". Just ask people who got e-coli infections from organic salads.

Again compared to smoking reds, where is the comparison?

These effects varied between the liquids, with the most potent being a cinnamon-flavored product.

Hmmm. Some cinnamon flavors are known to break acrylic ... another one added to my avoid list.

it was found that significant amounts of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in e-cigarette vapor, and at higher temperature, trace amount of acetone and acrolein were detectable, suggesting some shared toxicity between e-cigarettes and c-cigarettes. It was reported that e-cigarettes and associated flavoring agents may produce harmful effects in stem cells and gingival fibroblasts by generating aldehydes/carbonyls from e-cigarette vapor, resulting in protein carbonylation and DNA damage, as well as cellular senescence

Aldehydes, acetone and acrolein ... all typically found in gunk build-up, which is exacerbated by higher temps. These we've known for some time. More frequent coil and wick changes should minimize 'gunk' exposure ... prohibitively expensive if using cartridges.
