how about the FDA?
"the FDA found some samples contain carcinogens and other toxic chemicals. Using e-cigarettes can be like trading one deadly behavior for another."

And the "carcinogens and other toxic chemicals" you mention in the FDA report - was a well-known, documented singular incident of an admittedly contaminated source sample - not reflective of typical nicotine e-juice.

At present, the $300+ million FDA study is still underway with no definitive or official conclusion either way.

E-juice is made up of only 5 natural ingredients:

water
vegetable glycerin (usually coconut or palm oil based - all-natural - completely non-toxic)
propylene glycol (a commonly used food additive and various medicines - like asthma inhalers)
natural or artificial flavouring
nicotine

If you can find carcinogens in the above ingredients - you best be banning a helluva lot more things in this world along with the e-cigs.

That said, don't get me wrong - I'm not adverse to reading/listening to everything I can about the pros/cons of vaping - but I do tend to filter out a lot of pseudo-factual sources that have flawed data and/or an obvious skewed agenda.
