"However, Gregory Conley, a lawyer with the American Vaping Association, an advocacy group for e-cigarettes, criticized the study methods.

"They use the device in a manner that no one does," he said.

Using the high voltage for as long as the researchers mimicked in the study "creates a burning, acrid taste" called a "dry puff" that would cause users to adjust the e-cigarette, Conley said.

What the researchers did is like leaving a steak on a grill all day — many cancer-causing substances might be formed but no one would eat such charred meat, he said.

Eric Jacobs, a biologist at the American Cancer Society, said a biochemist at the society looked at the work and "was reasonably convinced" that the chemical researchers measured would break down into formaldehyde in the user's lungs.

"No one should conclude from this that e-cigarettes used at high voltage are worse than combustible tobacco cigarettes," because of all the other toxins in tobacco smoke, Jacobs said."



As soon as mainstream media gets a hold of this the headlines will read "Ecigs found to contain more cancer causing carcinogens than real cigarettes" and Eric Jacobs, of American Cancer Society knows that already!

This also reeks of a Big Tobacco study to be used in favor of banning all open system devices.

Which of course we all know are the only ones that really work at making a smoker make the full switch to vaping - 5150




Additional notes:
Formaldehyde just "magically" became a
potential carcinogen on June 10, 2011
Possibly to further scare smokers into quitting?
or to create more 'sin' to add more sin taxes to smoking?
Who knows but I guess before the middle of 2011 Formaldehyde was all good!
