Today in the Morning, while looking for "bad news" (I know, I am a little bit masochist), I found some press articles about a new study performed by greek scientists, and the least you can say is that it is "scarry" …

But … looking at the study (what some have done)
https://www.physiology.org/doi/pdf/10.1152/ajplung.00389.2017
the conclusions are "not really" the ones published by the Sun or News.com.au
"To study the effects of CS or e-cig vapors on lung structure we used histology and
determined inflammatory cell intra-alveolar and interstitial recruitment, congestion and
induced intra-alveolar and interstitial oedema. Interestingly, we found a high lung
injury score only in CS exposed mice both after 3 days or 4 weeks of exposure,
compared to e-cig vapour- or air-exposed mice. Our data are aligned with the
evidence of the less toxic effect of e-cig vapor compared to tobacco smoke (37),
especially regarding the loss of lung integrity in mice (22), albeit e-cig vapor exposure
clearly promotes pulmonary inflammatory effects (6). "
But of course, it would have been less sensational …
