For background I found out about vaping about 8 years ago and got into selling them to the people I sold weed to as a new alternative to cigarettes. I got so far as to making the juice and mixing it up in my kitchen diluting lethal concentrations of liquid nicotine. Seriously, it will absorb through your skin and kill you.
About a year later it caught on wildly and vape shops were popping up everywhere, I was seriously considering opening up a shop when I seen them opening everywhere I lost interest because my interest in it was offering something unique, and shops were now everywhere, so I turned it aside.
Now, from the very start of the vaping scene the argument against it was their are no real clinical trials or studies to determine long term effects. This was immediately combated by the fact that you are literally inhaling water vapor and it couldn't possibly be as harmful to your lungs as the carcinogen filled smoke of cigarettes.
Although I myself decided to stop using and promoting ecigs, I've kept my eye on the scene and taken notice to the advancements of where they are going with this. For 8 years ive kept my ears to the ground because it was a passion of mine at one point, I thought I was going to help change the world, and suddenly it's everywhere.
The whole point i'm rambling on to get to is, I've been watching this evolution for almost a decade, and for almost a decade nobody was dropping dead from vaping until a month ago. Man, have you seen the instagram videos of people engulfing themselves in literal clouds of smoke? For 8 straight years! And now they're suddenly dropping dead? All in a month span? There's something fishy going on here and everyone is just playing right along like sheep.

If it were peroxide or steak it would be dangerous to inhale; but it's not, it's propylene glycol.
