I know it's irrelevant to the actual topic, but the dipshit mentioned in the first article that turned to vaping after his dentist suggested he quit smoking after dental surgery... that made me chuckle. The reason you're not supposed to smoke after oral surgery is that the sucking action can affect the clot in the wound, resulting in an abscess. Vaping is no different than smoking normally as far as that is concerned!
That's like someone with a peanut allergy choosing to eat creamy peanut butter over chunky peanut butter... because the chunky peanut butter has peanuts in it.
Anyway, I completely agree with the concern of the origin of these devices and chemicals. Vaping may be relatively safe with pure, properly produced liquids... but how many shops can trace their liquid all the way back to the origin? All the way back to the lab? I doubt any bother. Cheaper products = more profit.
Plus, who knows what has been added to some of them. If the big tobacco companies have added things to their products to alter the flavor, make them more addictive, etc... why wouldn't the companies making the e-cig liquids do any different?
I know vapers like to assume everyone in their little hippy-dippy world is all lovey-dovey... but somewhere, there's a Chinese man in a business suit that has realized American dollars are still American dollars, even when the previous owner has passed away.
