Risk of heart attacks is double for daily e-cigarette users. Use of e-cigarettes every day can nearly double the odds of a heart attack, according to a new analysis of a survey of nearly 70,000 people. The research also found that dual use of e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes -- the most common use pattern among e-cigarette users -- appears to be more dangerous than using either product alone.

Now, see, here's the question I have, was the survey covering the kind of e-cigs that first came onto the market, the ones that are just water, flavor, and pure nicotine?
Or was it covering the kind of e-cigs sold by the big cigarette companies, who bribed the FDA into helping them force the others out of the market, and then put in the same poisons they put in their other products?
You see, none of the ingredients for the first type have ever been shown to have an impact on the heart. Nicotine by itself is not particularly harmful and only mildly addictive. (Tobacco is another story, just talking about the base chemical).

I believe that as the E-cigarette has become more popular the compaines making them have put more and more harmful items inside them so that their customers become dependant as much on them as they did regards cigarettes. I know as a non-smoker that I do not want these vapors in my airspace. I know second hand smoke is bad but what about second hand E-cigarette smoke? I would like a study on that to see if it really is harmless as everyone tries to tell us.
