Fake and misleading news! This is from an NPR article:
Inhaling the vaporized oil introduces harmful chemicals into the lungs, including vitamin E acetate. Dozens of people have died in recent years from vaping complications in the U.S., and thousands more have been hospitalized.
We all know this was from illegal, tainted THC carts, yet presented as if it was a common issue in all vapes. Why are the FACTS not mentioned, just the FEAR.
Also, when I say “We all know”, that is an issue because WE DO KNOW, but the general public does not know due to articles such as this.
The above paragraph followed this one…
Though vaping allows users to avoid some of the harmful carcinogens caused by smoking traditional cigarettes, studies have found that e-cigarettes are still harmful.
So they went from talking about apples in the first paragraph (harm reduction from cigarettes by switching to nicotine and non-nicotine vaping) to oranges in the very next paragraph (illegal, tainted THC cartridges) unnecessarily confusing the general public with their fear mongering narrative.
Not to mention, they have to throw that “e-cigarettes are still harmful” dig in there. Ok… How harmful when compared to a cigarette? How about telling us that?
Not having the ability to combat their narrative is just one of the reasons we sit and wait to see what this day will bring.
So frustrating.
