    I’d actually be happy to, but it requires some deep diving into studies. Most studies will have a headline that says something like “using nicotine is just as bad as vaping!!!” but the data almost never actually supports the conclusion. It’s terrible, terrible science and it’s one of the worst examples of systemic problems with bad science. There’s a clear cultural push to villify nicotine.

    Then those conclusions are reported by other meta studies etc etc

    I’m not saying to get your data from sketchy YouTube videos or anything, just do a critical peer analysis of the actual data from various studies. I’ll do it for you. I’ve dived into it before and I’ll be glad to do so again, but I won’t have time until the weekend. It’ll take a couple of hours. I’m gonna favorite your comment so I can get back to it.
