Talk:Cloud-chasing

Unsourced and off-topic

The content under "Health concerns" is still unsourced. There is no mention about the safety of cloud-chasing under "Health concerns". Content about the safety of e-cigs in general is also off-topic. It would be better to include sourced on-topic content rather than unsourced or sourced off-topic content. QuackGuru (talk) 15:10, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

This definitely still needs cleanup and referencing, but I don't see why it's off topic. It's probably worth a sentence or two summing up Electronic cigarette#Health effects here without going into detail. The content here seems to be hinting at the idea of inhaling non-nicotine-containing substances. It would be worth researching whether or not people do that or it's advocated, and whether or not there is any research on the health effects of that. -- Beland (talk) 02:51, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

I have found sources that support these claims, by the way, but I'd like to settle the issue of whether e-cig safety is relevant to this article first. -- Beland (talk) 18:37, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

QuackGuru has been banned from medicine articles, so the above dispute is now apparently moot. Here are the sources I found:

• Vaping with a glycerol base produces formaldehyde:
• Vaping propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine may lead to lung

inflammation: . Small study, small effect apparently being conducted as part of an investigation of the mechanisms of the VALI outbreak.

• Mouse study shows no effect on inflammation until infected by influenza, in which case it was worse:
