“Won’t somebody please think of the children” is one of the core rallying calls of the anti-vaping fanatics, and Cancer Research UK is evidently paying attention.

An interview with RunnerX (Jim Oliver), the man who ran the entire New York City Marathon while vaping.

With more attacks on the evidence-based conclusion that vaping is around 95 % safer than smoking, bans on indoor vaping, absurdly high taxes proposed on e-liquid and Malaysia taking distinct turns towards anti-vaping extremism of the worst variety, it’s been a decidedly grim Week in Vaping. So – if you can stomach it – let’s dive in.

This week, cherry flavored e-liquid is the worst thing since cigarettes, vaping is a gateway to smoking, nobody knows that vaping is safer than smoking and vapers apparently live in a constant state of fear. E-cigs also help you quit smoking, though, and smokers should definitely switch. It's the Week in Vaping.
The new edition of the Week in Vaping is here, bringing you the news from the vaping world with some occasional snark thrown in for good measure.

With more vaping bans proposed, some movements on the FDA regulations, a couple of new e-cigarette studies, several great articles on vaping from inside and outside the community, and one of the most thoroughly absurd winners of “Bullshit of the Week” so far: here’s the Week in Vaping.
