*"It is important to state that there is no empiric evidence of transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus or any other pathogen through vaping expirations. None of the sources cited by the authors on this issue (references cited in the first paragraph above) provide such evidence, they merely speculate about it in very vague general terms.

*Given the lack of experimental detection, the potential plausibility and scope of this pathogen transmission should be discussed through well structured models based on the theory and data of pathogen transmission mechanisms. Unfortunately, the authors missed three extensive articles in which we undertook this task (links to the articles). (Sussman)

*Referring to: Singhal S, Degano C, Berenbaum E, Keller-Olaman S. Does Vaping Increase the Risk of COVID-19 Transmission and Make Individuals Who Vape Susceptible to Infection and Prone to Severe Illness? A Review. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35881057/ J Can Dent Assoc. 2022 Jan;88:m1]. PMID: 35881057.

*Multiple Comments:

**"This article is getting severe criticism on Twitter. This thread summarises one issue and links to threads on other, more classic, problems." (Brown) Further comments by the same author (Brown) point out some errors in tables.

**"In a recent study, Gaiha et al. examined the association between e-cigarette use and COVID-19 in an online cross-sectional study of people aged 13-24 years conducted from May 6 to May 14, 2020. We have noticed serious issues in population weighting, response bias and biological implausibility. The suggested conclusions and interpretation of the study findings cannot be considered reliable. These issues raise the question of retracting the study." (Farsalinos, Niaura)
