Here's some Point/Counterpoint on the benefits of e-cigarettes. MedPageToday is a pro "big pharma" site with lots of stuff related to commercial products and "traditional" medications.
Counterpoint: Does the Risk of E-Cigarettes Exceed Potential Benefits? No
Point: Does the Risk of E-Cigarettes Exceed Potential Benefits? Yes
"... These studies have established that e-cigarettes are associated with increased nausea, vomiting, headache, choking, and upper airway irritation ..."
The usual bad things to be found out about vaping.
As if this is actually "bad" compared to "big pharma" products like Welchol advertised on the site.
And here's the "full disclosure" for Welchol. Excerpt below:
"Cardiovascular adverse events: During the diabetes clinical trials, the incidence of
patients with treatment-emergent serious adverse events involving the cardiovascular
system was 2.2% (22/1015) in the WELCHOL group and 1% (10/1010) in the
placebo group. These overall rates included disparate events (e.g., myocardial
infarction, aortic stenosis, and bradycardia); therefore, the significance of this
imbalance is unknown."
How interesting.
Two point two percent (2.2%) had "...serious adverse events involving the cardiovascular system..."
Double the rate of the placebo group.
Twice as many serious adverse cardiovascular events.
Well, you decide which is "safer."
