Gizmodo ----------- A new study, published Thursday in Environmental Health Perspectives, adds more evidence to the idea that e-cigarettes aren’t an entirely risk-free endeavour. It suggests that the very act of vaping might be exposing people to unsafe levels of toxins like lead and arsenic. Researchers at John Hopkins University asked 56 daily e-cigarette users—recruited from vaping shops and conventions around Baltimore—to lend them their tank-style devices. These modifiable, reusable devices allow people to refill their supply of e-liquid from a separate bottle dispenser. They first tested the e-liquid in the dispenser for 15 common metals. Then they tested the aerosol that users inhale into their lungs, which is generated by the e-liquid being heated by a battery-powered metal coil. And finally they tested the remaining liquid left behind in the device. To learn more click on the picture below to read the article.
