I’m sure its hard for you to understand given you’re family has been greatly affected by the use of tobacco.

you can not claim that the “e-liquid” is “not cancer causing and deemed safe per FDA” when they have not done a conclusive study on it. Anything we intake into our body has the potential for harm. It may be safe but the amount that is safe has not been determined nor has any longterm effects. I hope this product is safe because it would give an option to my parents and others that smoke however I still would rather them just quit smoking because the devil you know is still better than the devil you don’t".

I spent the better part of the last two years researching this kind of stuff during my masters and i know that the product has claims but they have not been substatiated.
