A new study confirms that

e-cigs damage your heart
The damage might not be "as bad" as traditional cigarettes, but it's
still pretty bad.

E-cigarettes reduce the amount of nitric oxide being

produced, increasing the likelihood of heart damage.
Vaping might be "healthier" than smoking traditional
cigarettes, but as more research continues to be
published, e-cigs are certainly not being shown as
"healthy."
Juul's recent removal of flavored pods from retail
outlets was pre-empting forthcoming FDA
regulations.
The notion that e-cigarettes are "healthier" than regular

cigarettes quickly created another billion-dollar industry.
The public imagination in the Information Age allowed for
such quick transmission of data, even if these data were
bogus. It was bad enough that adults were hooked—good
enough for non-smokers, who no longer had to deal with
toxic fumes trailing smokers. Then kids started getting
hooked; the song changed.
By this fall, nearly 20 percent of middle and high school

students have partaken in vaping
(https://mic.com/articles/191681/juul-electronic-cigarette-
pods-is-smoking-juul-safe-nicotine-danger-
teenagers#.OzkU0KkU2). The e-cig industry was relying on
a lack of credible research, not a surplus of honest studies.
A "smaller concentration of toxic substances" does not
negate harmful effects; it might reduce them, at best.

Forget the addiction question, people simply transferred
their cravings to another device, or, worse, an entirely new
category of smokers were indoctrinated by flavors like
Mango Mangue, Gummi Bear, and Blue Raz Cotton Candy.
Under public pressure, Juul, which controls 70 percent of

the e-cig market in the United States, announced it would
stop selling most flavored pods
(https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/13/health/juul-
ecigarettes-vaping-teenagers.html) in retail outlets, pre-
empting FDA plans to tighten regulations on teen
smoking. Juul Labs is dedicating $30 million
(https://www.juul.com/youth-education-awareness-and-
prevention) to independent research to battle this trend
(transparency about the studies and researchers are
hopefully forthcoming; corporations sponsoring research
rarely works out well for the public). Their move is
equivalent to Nestle launching an anti-sugar crusade to
combat youth obesity.
The reality is Juul would have had to have done this

anyway, if it hoped to save face. Given how long and hard
the cigarette industry has fought regulations and
attempted to assert its will into the fabric of society
through questionable marketing, it's hard to imagine this
as a purely benevolent move. Vaping might be "healthier"
than smoking, but the idea that it's not dangerous is
laughable.
For example, in August a study at the University of

Birmingham discovered that (https://bigthink.com/21st-
century-spirituality/safe-new-research-confirms-the-toxic-
effect-of-vaping) vaping liquid produces inflammatory
cytokines, which over the course of decades could
contribute to heart problems. Now a new study
(https://www.heart.org/en/news/2018/11/05/study-
ecigarettes-may-damage-the-heart) that was recently
presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific
Sessions confirms that, like traditional cigarettes, e-cigs
cause endothelial cells to produce less nitric oxide, leading
to heart damage.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a byproduct shared by almost all forms

of organic life. The inner lining of blood vessels
(endothelium) use nitric oxide in vasodilation, widening
blood vessels, to increase blood flow. Producing less NO
results in constricted blood flow, one of the main reasons
regular smokers suffer from cardiovascular damage.

The FDA has ordered e-cigarette product makers to devise a plan to

keep their devices away from minors, declaring use by teens has
reached an 'epidemic proportion'.
Dr. Leila Mohammadi, the lead researcher on this latest

study and a postdoctoral fellow at the Cardiovascular
Research Institute at the University of California, San
Francisco, notes that in this regard, vaping is not much
safer than cigarettes.
We showed that blood serum from electronic cigarette

users has harmful effects that are similar to that of
(tobacco) cigarettes on endothelial cell functions. This
harmful effect is likely to adversely affect arteries and
cardiovascular health.
University of Louisville professor of medicine, Aruni

Bhatnagar, notes that the tobacco industry has a vested
interest in promoting the idea that e-cigs are safer. Big
players in tobacco, such as R.J. Reynolds, British American

Tobacco, and Altria (formerly Phillip Morris) all have vaping
divisions (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/tobacco-
companies-taking-over-the-e-cigarette-
industry_us_58b48e02e4b0658fc20f98d0) that are driving
more and more revenue into their coffers. The device
changes while the addiction remains the same.
The latest study's principal investigator, Matthew Springer,

sums up the whole cigarette vs. vaping debate in the
simplest terms possible. It's an argument that anyone
employed in the tobacco industry will continue to fight
against, regardless of how basic this knowledge is.
Anything you inhale other than clean air seems to be

causing vascular problems. Rather than try to find the
things to inhale that aren't as bad as cigarettes, we
might have to realize (we need) to just breathe clean air.

Forced examination: How the

free speech of others benefits
us all
(https://bigthink.com/Charles-
Koch-Foundation/forced-
examination-how-the-free-
speech-of-others-benefits-us-
all)
Americans say we value free speech, but recent surveys suggest we
love the ideal more than practice, a division that will harm more than it
protects.
by Charles Koch Foundation 14 November, 2018
(https://bigthink.com/Charles-Koch-Foundation/forced-examination-how-
the-free-speech-of-others-benefits-us-all)
Photo: Getty Images
A majority of Americans believe we should protect people from

deleterious ideas and speech.
This belief may harm us, both as individuals and as a society, by
ironically strengthening the very ideas that do us harm.
Forced examination provides a means by which we can
strengthen our own ideas while weeding the harmful ones from
society, but it only works with free expression for everyone.

special ways.

When America polices the

world, everybody loses
(https://bigthink.com/videos/
how-american-exceptionalism-
foreign-policy-is-dangerous)
America treats the world like a board game. That's a problem.
by Jeffrey Sachs 30 November, 2018
content.jwplatform.com (https://content.jwplatform.com/players/CRQrezMg-FvQKszTI.js)
Make no mistake, says Jeffrey Sachs, America is an empire. The

end of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles put the United
States on a trajectory to exercise political control over foreign
governments and topple world leaders on a whim, which, Sachs
reminds us, is quite crazy.
"Remember when President Obama said Assad must go in Syria?"
says Sachs. "I scratched my head and said: How can an American
president say that the Syrian president must go?"
When America gets topple-happy, the result is catastrophe — just
look at Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran. Overreach of power by the United
States destabilizes global politics, threatens U.S. national security,
and sets a ticking time bomb for violence and civil war. This kind of
foreign policy is doomed to fail.
