*Research on the products use to cut THC containing liquids that led to the outbreak of EVALI / VALI / THCVALI. This outbreak was falsely blamed on the nicotine vaping industry (ENDS).

=Myth ENDS vapor or exhaled vapour contains dangerous levels of toxic chemicals or VOCs=

* The findings of this work suggest that exhaled e-cigarette aerosol does not increase bystander exposure for phenolics and carbonyls above the levels observed in exhaled breaths of air, in contrast to the quantifiable levels of these analytes in exhaled conventional cigarette smoke.

*Lorillard study

=Myth ENDS - Flavor Danger=

* We look at 2 important questions: 1) Is vaping flavors toxic and 2) Are flavors motivating non-smoking teens to experiment with vaping?

===2019 Truth Article: [https://www.clivebates.com/the-us-vaping-flavour-ban-twenty-things-you-should-know/ The US vaping flavour (flavor) ban: twenty things you should know]===

: A well researched article that touches on many of the myths and fears about youth use of flavored vapor products.

===2017: Truth Follow Up: [[Comment on “Flavoring Compounds Dominate Toxic Aldehyde Production during E Cigarette Vaping”]]===

: We would like to point out that the finding is in a stark contrast to previous results.

: The high levels only happen under dry puff conditions, something avoided by vapers as it is very unpleasant.

*In realistic conditions, formaldehyde in e-cigarettes is lower than cigarette smoke.

: In realistic conditions, formaldehyde in e-cigarettes is lower than cigarette smoke.

*High levels of formaldehyde in e-cigarettes are produced in unrealistic (dry puff) conditions and should be avoided in the laboratory setting.

: While direct replications like this and studies with similar methods can offer useful comparisons, the main point of the paper isn’t as much about the results as it is about the methods. Before we can really answer the key questions, we need to consider why the method used matters so much.
