This dingbat is misrepresenting citiations of articles that themselves misrepresent scientific articles!

Here's the MSM press release that he cites:
http://www.medicaldaily.com/e-cigar...-chromium-4-times-higher-tobacco-smoke-300704

Which totally ignores the findings of the main article it quotes:
http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2014/em/c4em00415a#!divAbstract
Overall, with the exception of Ni, Zn, and Ag, the consumption of e-cigarettes resulted in a remarkable decrease in secondhand exposure to all metals and organic compounds
Testing of cartomizers (which I think most of realize are bullshit anyways) found trace elements in the vapor that were not present in the juice. The article itself says that the metals most likely came from the devices, which I'm assuming were brand new, right out of the package and probably not cleaned to remove any residue prior to use. Fuckin morons need to actually read what they are presenting as fact.

Moral of this story, clean your equipment and vape safe juice. Oh yeah, and cartomizers suck so don't use them.
