The other stuff in vape clouds is such an infinitesimally small amount, it's really not worth considering. On the order of like <400 migrograms per gram of vape cloud, with the average vape cloud mass being <100mg
Wikipedia
Study that I was able to access through my university
The scientific failings of nearly all research into e-cigs is a big pet peeve of mine. So, so many studies with abstracts and titles shouting VAPES WILL LITERALLY KILL YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN IF YOU LOOK AT THEM and then when you dig into the results it's less harmful than ambient air in a Walmart.
Only up to 100 mg? Such a tiny amount of substance could never have an impact on a human body! That’s why when I take a 50 mg edible absolutely nothing happens.
You are delusional, and completely misinterpreting that study and Wikipedia. Like, reading your other comment you did a “lot of work” on - I’m kind of amazed - it reminds me of the kind of stuff that I’d see to back up Ivermectin being a miracle cure.
Since you seem very concerned with dosage:
Secondhand smoke is also harmful:
You have an addiction and are doing something that is harmful to your body. There is not an evil conspiracy by the government and research scientists to convince you that nicotine is bad for you, nicotine is bad for you.
Oh Christ on a cracker, I don't have time to explain how math works
The entire cloud, water vapor and all, is up to 100mg, dumbass. It's like 0.04mg of chemicals in the biggest vape clouds. That's nothing.
Can you read that middle study for me friendo?
I know you don’t have time to explain how math works, but can you explain the concepts of p-value and statistical significance for me?
Also, do things existing at less than 0.04 mg have no effect on the human body?
Literally irrelevant to the point I'm making.
In almost every case, that's correct.
Keep in mind that's also the strongest measured concentration of the biggest clouds in the whole study, and that assumes instead of passively breathing in someone else's vape cloud, they're just breathing the whole thing right into your mouth. Realistic amounts of chemicals would be an order or two magnitude lower.
You are right but you still will be stoned for saying the truth. Those ppl probably breathe in much more harmful shit daily without second thoughts
This comment section makes me want to start to vape again
