I'm guessing it's too early to draw any strong conclusions yet, but this is certainly troubling for anyone who uses e-cigs under the assumption that they are healthier.

Farsalinos, who runs a e-cigarette research website, said the unnamed brand that turned up 10 times the amount of carcinogens was “a single extreme case out of the many products he tested", and perhaps the one tested was faulty - something that further research will identify

Well, for a "researcher" that runs a website that is funded by hits, it is quite convenient that this little anomaly popped up for him, isn't it?

New research has revealed that e-cigarettes can contain up to 10 times the amount of carcinogens of regular cigarettes, which has brought the claim that these devices are a healthier alternative to smoking into serious contention.

I will point out that there is 1 brand that has that, and another brand that is almost like that,.. while the vast majority are not. What this shows is the need for regulating what gets put in the various cartridges, or at least labeling things.
 
But then why smoke? Nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs out there.

Try meditation. It's free. Or jog, for crying out loud.
 
You can't job when you're sitting on the couch and meditating makes it difficult to pay attention to details of the TV show. Neither is actually a reasonable alternative.

No Perspicuo, don't meditate. Collect stamps. It's better for your mind.

Did that work to correct your unhealthy behavior?
