*"The problem for the authors is that cancer is a human condition and their calculation is based exposures measured by a lab machine in conditions that no humans would be able to tolerate." (Bates)

**"Although Jensen et al. mentioned in the 2015 NEJM research letter that the health risks of formaldehyde hemiacetal inhalation are unknown ("How formaldehyde-releasing agents behave in the respiratory tract is unknown..."), they made a calculation that the formaldehyde-attributable cancer risk from e-cigarette use is 5 to 15 times higher than from long-term smoking. These two statements are clearly contradictory, and the calculation of any cancer risk from formaldehyde hemiacetal emissions is invalid since no such risk has been established for these compounds." (Farsalinos)

**"The high levels of formaldehyde emissions that were reported in a previous study were caused by unrealistic use conditions that create the unpleasant taste of dry puffs to e-cigarette users and are thus avoided." (Farsalinos, Voudris, Spyrou, Poulas)
