The manufacturers of electronic cigarettes claim that “vaping” is safer than smoking. In fact, a “scientific study” by Dr. Riccardo Polosa got a lot of news attention recently for its conclusion that vaping is safe. Dr. Terry Kraus examines that study and questions its methods and findings, and shares what he knows about the dangers of e-cigarettes and nicotine in general.
