Unsourced and off-topic[edit]

The content under "Health concerns" is still unsourced. There is no mention about the safety of cloud-chasing under "Health concerns". Content about the safety of e-cigs in general is also off-topic. It would be better to include sourced on-topic content rather than unsourced or sourced off-topic content. QuackGuru (talk) 15:10, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This definitely still needs cleanup and referencing, but I don't see why it's off topic. It's probably worth a sentence or two summing up Electronic cigarette#Health effects here without going into detail. The content here seems to be hinting at the idea of inhaling non-nicotine-containing substances. It would be worth researching whether or not people do that or it's advocated, and whether or not there is any research on the health effects of that. -- Beland (talk) 02:51, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have found sources that support these claims, by the way, but I'd like to settle the issue of whether e-cig safety is relevant to this article first. -- Beland (talk) 18:37, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

QuackGuru has been banned from medicine articles, so the above dispute is now apparently moot. Here are the sources I found:

Vaping with a glycerol base produces formaldehyde: [1]
Vaping propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine may lead to lung

inflammation: [2]. Small study, small effect apparently being conducted as part of an investigation of the mechanisms of the VALI outbreak.

Mouse study shows no effect on inflammation until infected by influenza, in which case it was worse: [3]
