Pointing out that this is NOT saying that vaping is more dangerous.

It's saying there's shitty regulation in the US, allowing for cheap plastic vapes to have all sort toxic adulterants in them, and those are more harmful than smoking tobacco

High Levels of Lead, Other Hazardous Metals Found in E-Cigarettes Popular with Teens

Lead is more toxic than nicotine who would've guessed.

This is clearly rather biased of a headline. Traditional smoking really is taking a hit, I imagine. (No pun intended)

It's so strange that it's even commercially viable to make disposable ones.

It's a cheap battery, plastic, a single piece of wire twisted into a coil, water and flavouring.

And then on top of that they cut corners by not testing it or ensuring to use safe materials.

It's amazing it costs as much as it does. They're raking it in.

Plastic trash be like that... What's strange is how the clown regime permits these to be disposable at all IMHO
