Cancer-causing benzene found in e-cigarette vapors operated at high power

&gt;The researchers expect that some e-cigarette advocates will deny the importance of their work by saying “no one vapes at such high powers”<p>And how do they address these concerns? The burning process that creates benzene and formaldehyde also creates a terrible taste. It&#x27;s like warning users to be careful with frying pans because food and oil that is burnt to a blackened husk has carcinogens.<p>Additionally, only one of the devices had benzene formation within stock power levels.<p>The 2015 study mentioned has similar flaws.

Sadly, all the negative press about vaping has just kept smokers smoking and paying a lot of money for something which, truthfully, still appears vastly better for their health. Many smokers aren&#x27;t going to be doing any research on vaping so all they here is the negative press. Nice going government!

So…how much is &quot;too much&quot; concerning these &quot;cancer-causing&quot; chemicals? You can find &quot;cancer-causing&quot; agents in the air we breathe, the water we drink and many of the foods we eat. The question is, how much of this chemical is dangerous to our health?
