The title of the article is:
Vaping Is More Dangerous Than Cigarettes

In the article, it states:
According to recent research undertaken by the Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York, E-Cigarettes have a harmful effect on the lungs, heart and even the brain. Although vaping is still less harmful than smoking, this does not mean that it does not come with its own harmful effects. But because vaping is relatively new, it is still difficult to provide concrete evidence regarding the extent of its harmfulness.

I guess you missed the part where there aren't really any journalists left. Everything is an opinion piece because the news cycle is now 24H at the most then its on to the next topic. Its Its all about clicks and not about providing information.

And now that Turdeau handed the media $595 million bailout im sure there wont be any bias or propaganda trying to sway the public.......... Canadian tax payers shouldn't have to bailout the old guard media that has gone extinct due to it's inability or wanting to adapt to social media and the digital age.

Giving the media taxpayer money is plain stupid, but saying it was to influence bias in favour of the Liberals is a Conservative crutch, imo.

I see a stupid tv ad saying the same thing. They're smart because they leave it open ended for the blind masses to fill in the blanks..

Vaping WHAT? They're sneakily referring to Vaping Tobacco, they never say Vaping Marijuana. Yet Vaping and Marijuana are probably the first thing that will pop up in your head.

Where did i say anything about favoritism? Also, not conservative. Remember the idiom about assuming? To think someone isn't beholden to another after taking money to keep your business alive is either lying to themselves or willfully ignorant. Are you going to bite the hand that feeds and keeps a roof over you and your employees heads? The road to hell is paved with good intentions.


Look into what group has been tasked with distribution of said bailout and get back to me about there being no influence or agenda.

The problem with people who hold a viewpoint like yours with things being conservative or liberal is you always approach things in an us vs them manner which pits people against each other instead of discussing what works best for everyone as a result.

I wasn't pointing to you when I said conservatives were using it as a crutch - in fact I agreed with you that it was an idiotic idea. I don't agree it influences what we read, there are plenty of stories pro both sides. I see the comments daily on the news feeds every time there is a story that puts the CPC or PPC in a negative light - it's fake news because the Liberals gave them money - I don't buy it. I'm voting Green in October.....

No media outlets are going to change their leanings for some tax incentives, because they are already beholden to their corporate advertisers, which are worth billions. This is just free money that will be gobbled up by executive salaries and expense accounts, or a buyback of their stock. It's the bank bailouts all over again.

Here is another article about vaping. I think its poorly written and inaccurate. The "expert" says vaping dry pot has a dozen or so chemicals but he doesn't mention any studies etc to back his claim up. All the studies ive read only list ammonia as being a possible byproduct of dry herb vaping.
