Study Confirms That E-Cigarettes Generate Virtually No Toxins – Hit & Run : Reason.com
Analysis of the smoke from conventional cigarettes showed that the mainstream cigarette smoke delivered approximately 1500 times more harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) tested when compared to e-cigarette aerosol or to puffing room air. The deliveries of HPHCs tested for these e-cigarette products were similar to the study air blanks rather than to deliveries from conventional cigarettes; no significant contribution of cigarette smoke HPHCs from any of the compound classes tested was found for the e-cigarettes.

Trump Aide Corey Lewandowski Charged For Grabbing Michelle Fields
He’s technically charged with ‘unwanted touching’ which is a questionable charge given that security has the right to ‘touch’ you if you aren’t obeying them, whether you want them to or not. No, technically, he isn’t security, but he is a staff member who has the ability to shield the candidate.
