Which studies? I'm legitimately curious as the only deaths I've heard of were because of the vitamin e acetate they were using in the knockoff cannabis pens.

The EVALI outbreak in US was determined to be caused by "illegal" products, but the materials to produce them are not banned in the US as far as I know.

I've been looking through that study for the last 20 minutes and I don't see anything about anyone dieing from normal nicotine vape products.

There is conclusive evidence that in addition to nicotine, most e-cigarette products contain and emit
numerous potentially toxic substances.

In other words, bullshit. The dosage makes the poison.
