Spare a thought for the anti-vaping zealots, those who are opposed to e-cigarettes or tobacco in any form, who continually have to rely on similarly flawed arguments in order to make it look like they're maintaining a defensible position.

Your health has drastically improved and your significant other no longer despises the smell of your clothes.

Vaping is harm reduction
The worst thing about the continuous spread of misleading information and the manufacturing of misguided panics about vaping is the fact that e-cigarettes are really about harm reduction.
